Very rarely...only if i hope there'll be an ending that made it worthwhile. I've been disappointed a lot.

__________________

Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne - I figured it was about time I read this, seeing as how I've always loved Pooh. I can't believe I never read it as a child.

Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris - Fucking hilarious.

A Murder is Announced by Agatha Christie - I never read any books by her before, despite owning quite a few that I've picked up in thrift stores. It turned out to be just as interesting as I had hoped.

the human stain - philip roth
flowers in the attic - virginia andrews (shite)
an edie sedgwick biography by jean stein and george plimpton.

Sophie's World was a really good book. I totally recommend it to anyone who wants to get a taste of philosophy and a good story all at the same time. As someone with a philosophy degree, I found it quite insightful and entertaining.

Now as for my last 3 books:

Magical Thinking by Augusten Burroughs - they are short essays about his life. Some are a little silly, but some can just blow you away. He makes you feel like you are right there with him. I am looking forward to reading Possible Side Effects, another book like Magical Thinking.

Lolita by V. Nabakov - I hated this book. He is way too descriptive about crap that need not be said. I read it within 3 days because I wanted to just be done with it. I bought it because of Reading Lolita in Tehran. Reading the original made reading that book make more sense.

Deuteronomy - Didn't think I was going to pull Bible out on you, did you? It is the last book that Moses plays a part in. He pretty much recaps the first three or four books before handing over the reigns to Joshua. He explains all of the rules that the Jews have to follow so that they can get and keep the blessings that God had given them previously.

stephen fry - moab is my washpot
bill bryson - the history of nearly everything
philip roth - the human stain

liked them all well enough.

Moab is brilliant
It made me cry so much though.

The Girls Who Went Away: The Hidden History of Women Who Surrendered Children for Adoption in the Decades Before Roe v. Wade by Ann Fessler
--Interesting yet repeats all the time over and over about their pain. a big downer of a big and made me cry without thinking of crying

The Kite Runner--boring. I don't know why people liked this novel so much

Sidewalk by Mitchell Duneier--Very interesting. About homeless and life on the streets selling the only thing they can due to the 1st U.S amendment: books and literature. Also repeats itself a lot.

Haunted - Chuch Palahnuik
Kafka on the shore - Haruki Murakami
& now I'm reading Rant - Chuck Palahnuik. Bit confusing, but overall, i'm impressed

They should have stopped at 'The Girls Who Went Away'. I'd already exhausted all of my reading motivation by the time I got to the end of the sub-title.

Brick Lane by Monica Ali

well...that's a bit how the books like. haha

I read one of the Tank Girl books recently, that I hadn't read before. It reminds me of when I was a kid, cuz my mum was really into it. I really like it, my bandmate is a lot like Tank Girl, I think
Also, I've been reading Never Mind The Bollocks by (I think) Amy Raphael, mostly the Huggy Bear bit, which takes alot of mental power to digest, but the Courtney bit is good, she wrote the majority of it.
And then I'm gonna be lazy and say i also read David Shrigley alot again recently. I went through a little phase with him and although his books take like 20 minutes to read, I think they're wicked. My favourite one is Who I Am And What I Want. He put out a kind of spoken word/music album last year and that's really good too.

xx

harry the dirty dog
the tale of the flopsy bunnies

i am looking forward to the new chuck palahniuk.

Dirty Havana Trilogy - hard going. Full of dirty sex, when I was far more interested in the actual experiences the guy had living in such a fucked up country.

The Chancers by Damian Lanigan - I hated the first chapter, but stuck with it and enjoyed the rest of the book. It's a bit lad lit at times, but well written and very funny in places.

Confessions Of A Chatroom Freak - Aaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha. This book is ace. Never before have I sat on the tube crying with laughter because of a book.

COAL RUN Tawni O'Dell

SHARP OBJECTS Gillian Flynn

PROMISE NOT TO TELL Jennifer McMahon

I really enjoyed them all. I've been on a good run with books lately. 'Sharp Objects' was really a nice surprise because I read it totally by accident, and had never heard of it prior.
However, because of that I'm now living in constant anxiety that there are books out there that I will never discover... like some true love who never crosses my path...
