So this little entry is dedicated to books. Yes, those all knowing, ever lasting pieces of paper that you grew up with. Yes, you! not me, you! You person who grew up in an age filled with dinosaurs and hunting was the only other passtime.

I'll admit I never really enjoyed reading until I read Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone when I was 11. The only other books (?) I had read until then were Tinkle, Amar Chitra Katha, Asterix and Tintin.

So then I pick up this wonderful book by JK Rowling cause everyone was raving about it and I didnt want to be left out you see. I read it and liked it. Not loved it, liked it. So I decided to read the remaining books in the series. Up until recently, when it FINALLY got over!

But over the years I read other books. After Harry Potter, I tried reading more fantasy books such as Artemis Fowl (which i absolutely detested). Then I read Lord of the Rings, which I LOVED! It took me nearly three months to finish, because of the fact that I was 12 and wasnt used to English like

"Frodo hath never gone thither, but wished to go hither to defeat the dark lord on his dark throne, in the land of Mordor where shadows lie;but Aragorn, ElfFriend, was always wary that he who went hither, never went thither. And since Theoden King was the burden the men of Rohan carried, but Eomer King rides in battle now, then Gandalf the Grey is using magics to defeat the Witch of Angmar and his EVIL FORCES."

You get the drift.

After which I read random books such as

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the night time and such.

Then I read Adrian Mole, which made me laugh so much that I was clutching my stomach and rolling on the floor. I love the way Sue Townsend writes!

Then I read Eragon. Boring shit. But that didnt stop me from reading Eldest!

I tried reading Frank Herbert's Dune but it was way too boring. So was Heart of Darkness.

Speaking of boring books, try Gunter Grass' The Tin Drum. It is AMAZINGLY BORING AND RIDICULOUSLY STUPID!

Then I read Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men". Brilliance. I loved Steinbeck immediately. I went on to read "The moon is down" and "The Pearl".

The thing that captures me about in Of Mice and Men is George's helplessness over Lennies 'condition' and how he had to resort to such desperate methods to deal with it. It is beautiful. I cried at the end of the book. Steinbeck writes amazingly well..

What are you doing still reading this. Steinbeck writes better than me too (hard to believe, yes)... GO OUT AND READ HIS BOOKS!
