I'd have to say that my Physics textbook beat my Biology textbook. Those books, unfortunately, was all I read today. I read Gary Kirsten's autobiography yesterday though, it was quite good.

Textbook writers have to be literary geniuses. YYo just can't get away from them.

Think I'll have a nip into The Rabbi's Cat in bed today. (A comic, no less.)

I'm reading Whitman's Leaves of Grass for a class.

I read The Rum Diary on the weekend though, which was voluntary.

Thinking it's cool not to read is no laughing matter tbh.

The only time I read novels is when I have to for school purposes, and even then I don't read the novel, I read sparknotes .

Who's got time tbh, got other things to do with my life. I mean studying, playing cricket, playing basketball, chatting on msn, eating, sleeping, chillin' with friends, and watching TV is already a busy enough schedule. Who's got time to read a book, that too for fun... .

I tend to only read when I'm really bored or can't sleep tbh.

Good book.

Really like his stuff, and Tony Hawks as well - not sure if playing the Moldovans at Tennis was better than Round Ireland with a fridge or not.

A good book is better than eating, sleeping, chilling, sex, whatever.


A great book can be a defining experience in one's life.
