One of my favorite books, ever! I had to read it for English in High school and absolutely fell in love with it.
Currently reading this for my 102 Comp class. I've only read the Introduction but it's definitely an interesting book.

Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl
This is something that I've always wanted to read, but then for some reason never have. I'm so glad that I started reading it though. It's strange how much I can relate to a thirteen year old that lived in completely different circumstances, so many years ago. If anyone hasn't ready this, then I definitely think you should.

The diary of Anne Frank. I have never got around ot reading it, but the other day my mum told me that my grandad thought it was the most important book ever that everyone should read.
faith is a bluebird that you see from afar
it is real and as sure as the first evening star
can't touch it, or buy it, or lock it up tight
but its there just the same
making things turn out right

So, is that what you call a getaway? Tell me what you got away with. Cause I've seen more spine in jellyfish. I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids. Have another drink and drive yourself home. I hope there's ice on all the roads. And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt, and again when your head goes through the windshield.

I got halfway with this one two summers ago, i think. Rereading now, fully:] Got it yesterday.
2. The one i was reading before and am a fair way through: Bright Shiny Morning by James Frey.
It's a fab book too. Very different, though.
3. Oh, and when i finish those, i have Escape by Carolyn Jessop to read, a memoir of life in and escaping a Christian sect.
I'm thrilled! <3 Waterstones!!!! [bookshops] and books ^___^
