you should try rereading a game of thrones. the first 50 pages or so don't do the book justice...really drags at the beginning.

you get into around page 100 and heads start getting chopped off and it sucks you in. i don't think i've ever been this invested in a series before.

the show for HBO is actually in production as we speak. they're filming in belfast i believe.

Perhaps I'll try again. I dig people's heads getting chopped off. :D

Tokyo Zodiac Murders - you'll love the plot, the twist, the suspense, everything about it. I would want to see this as a movie..

Well I am stuyding English Literature at college, so far I have read Dubliners by James Joyce, A few other short stories by Frank O'Connor, Guy De Maupassant etc.
I have also started reading Great Expectations and soon I will also read Wuthering Heights.
Then we have to do some shakespeare plays - king lear I think

I read " A Child Called It" in seventh grade (about 6 years ago) after a teacher mentioned in class. All I can say is "wow", the book opened my eyes to the horrors of child abuse and caused me to be that much more thankful that I have such a loving family. I was very surprised at the vivid nature of the book and how graphic it was, but that made it that much more powerful. I don't get very emotional when it comes to books or movies, but that one made me choke up at some parts.

I started 'Crime and Punishment" but I can't do it. 40 pages was enough for me.
Too many Russian names, everything blurred together like my wedding day.
So I got a hard cover version of Clive barker's 'Cabal' off eBay for 5 bucks total!
Now that college football is over for a few weeks I can start reading it.

yes, i i love how it was worded as a child might have told the story. its not often i start a book and cant put it down till i finish it but that was one of them. it just amazed me what that kid went through and came out alive

i`m thinking about going to get the other one "the lost boy". i heard its not as good as "the child called it" but i still want to read it. i might actually stop off at the library on my way home tomarrow and pick it up
