I really liked "Go Ask Alice" I cried throughout a lot of the book. Amazingly shocking. But I couldn't bring myself to read anymore books on drug addictions for quite a while afterwards.
I'm currently reading a few different books...
Uglies: Scot Westerfeld
Death's Shadow: Darren Shan
Fall on your knees: Ann-Marie MacDonald
Darkly Dreaming Dexter: Jeff Lindsay
Boy Toy: Barry Lyga
And I'm also re-reading Identical by Ellen Hopkins.
~Where death is I am not, where I am death is not, so we never meet~
I'd rather die terrified
than live forever.
We will all die so gloriously, that having ever lived will seem like folly.

Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte.
How that woman had the guts to criticize Jane Austen is beyond me. That's all I'm saying.
let me light up the sky, light it up for you
let me tell you why, i would die for you
When you whisper, you must be absolutely as sincere as when you scream. 9 out of every 10 problems in relationships can be solved by talking. So why are we so damn quiet?

Seriously), 'Fathers and sons' by Turgenev and 'Existentialism is a Humanism' by Sartre. And kind of 'The Master and Margarita' by Bulgakov, but I praticually know that one off by heart so it doesn't count. I truely love that book.

Currently I'm reading two books:
-Rosie Dunne (or When Rainbow ends)
love this one!
-Siberia
this is such a great story
And the worst part is
before it gets any better we're headed for a cliff.
And in the free fall
I will realise I'm better off
when I hit the bottom.
this is how we dance when they try to take us down.
