Just finished The Road by Cormac McCarthy. I'd recommend it...very emotionally demanding but very,very good.

Also want to read Wicked by Gregory Maguire

Oh lol, its awesome! It's fundamentally based on a love story between a beautiful vampire and a normal average teenaged girl.

It sounds more than fanatical but its actually really awesome!

Stephanie Meyer is next to J.K.Rowling in rank!

I've noticed a lot of year 11s reading that... I think it's now a text for EX1. Sounds like a good book.

I just started American Gods by Neil Gaiman.
