yeah ive just started it but its had some good reviews

'One of the best comic novels of growing up, and one of the sharpest satires on race relations in this country that ive ever read' - Independent on Sunday

'Its a wonderful novel. I doubt i will read a funnier one, or one with more heart, this year, possibly this decade' Angela Carter, Guardian.

' This is exactly the novel one hoped Hanif Kureishi would write: utterly irreverent and wildly improperm but also genuinely touching and truthful. And very funny indeed.' - Salman Rushdie


so far what ive read is fantasticly funny and interesting...will let you now how it pans out hehe

Now onto 'Mostly Harmless' - Douglas Adams.

After I finish this book I will have to sit down and decide which, out of all the books that I want to read, that I will read next, hmmmmmm

I'm on chapter 15 of The Goblet of Fire, and they've only really just arrived at the school. I'm just wondering how much of what I've read will actually be included in the film, seeing as there's so much and they only have a couple of hours.

I'm still reading 'Cities of the Red Night', but I'm also now reading 'Jim Giraffe' by Daren King. Oh, and since I last posted, I've read 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' too.

Ok I actually finished that book this morning (I do have to agree that it was a very hard book to put down!!). I am now reading 'The Astrological Diary of God' by Bo Fowler and this book is seriously hurting my head with the way it has been written :S
