How stupid can I get? I totally misread the question for the essay ( that ive had since the begining of November) and only realised it last night when I was about to uplad it nice and early So ive pulled an all nighter and sived off the first day of classes to get this thing done by 2pm and its almost done. Its abaloutre drivel and all wrong but what can you do ? READ THE QUESTION properly kiddies!! Luckly I wasnt at home and my mum hasnt found out or she'd hang me I am always misreading questions... *sigh*
But that isn't the point of this blog, no I've had to start a list of books Ill be reading and as soon as my final exam rolls round in may Im going on a real read binge ( I just dont have time to read till then ) so I was wondering if anyone can think of any BRILLIANT books they've read this year and would care to recommend them, Im not fussed as to quality or genre fiction nonfiction I know that Ill just read anything and everything.
thanks....

    ^__^ I constantly did that in highschool and just handed in what I had, hoping my teachers would just take it as an extremely convoluted but appropriate answer. It worked, most of the time o_O

    The Beach- Alex Garland
    All the Pretty Horses- Cormac McCarthy
    Lamb, the Gospel of Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal- Christopher Moore

    All The Pretty Horses is a great read. The Road is also coming out as a movie shortly, so you might want to read and then see the film. I'm really enjoying The New York Trilogy. Jane Austen is always a good read, have you read Emma? Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amus is a funny and fun read.
