[Goodreads]

I don't mind goodreads - but I like bookarmy too - it's got loads of authors and others signed up which is pretty cool.

[WIN Tea At The Ritz With Alexander McCall Smith!]

Book or tea - either'd do!

[How many books do you read at once?]

I try and keep it down, but usually about 4 or 5!!!

[Worst ever film from a book?]

Twilight - but only because the book was so awful too!

[What Defines A Classic?]

it's got to be timeless, each reading brings a new understanding, some sort of deep underlying message, intriguing characters

[The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger]

It is an amazing book, I was lucky enough to read it in high school. As for similar books, maybe check out The Stranger by Albert Camus. It's a completely different writing style and theme but another example of a strong character, and one you have to struggle with in the beginning.
