The Wind In The Willows was great when it was about Toad. Everything else in it bored me completely.

Snow Falling on Cedars

The Skull Benneath the Skin

Bridge to Terabythia

Harry Potter

ANYTHING by Jane Austen.

But usually I'm very anal with my books and thoroughly research before buying or reading:).

'Wat' indeed sir:).

Yeah I did find it pretty dull once I got older. Plus I was reading it IN BED [(no wetdream/mastab./porno message intended) that's what harry potter slash fanfictions are for], hence falling asleep more:).

The script of Speed-The-Plow. I read it during the holidays, as per what the teacher asked, but fell asleep reading the first scene. Had fun workshopping it though, which was weird.

Also, If i decided to keep on reading the night I first started reading it, Snow Falling on Cedars. Yet another text for school. Same situation, but not having fun studying it.

>>> LETTERS TO ALICE ON FIRST READING JANE AUSTEN <<<

FIRST OF ALL - WTF IS THIS SHIT
SECOND OF ALL - WTF WAS THE PUBLISHER THINKING?


This book was so bad, during the reading session our english teacher organised, i thought i could get some shut-eye time by holding the book infront of my face whilst miss was reading..... half an hour later i wake up with the book in my lap whilst my teacher is trying to stop my mate from drawing a penis on my face... FML

i lol'd when i woke up though

'Came Back To Show You I Could Fly' by Robin Klein. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuurgh. The MAIN PLOT POINT was on the back of the book...so the whole time I'm reading it, I knew what was happening when the main character didn't have a clue. It was sooo frustrating. I mean, how stupid can you get to make a publishing choice like that?

I love the fact that you find it unrealistic based on the stuff the characters face at a young age rather than, you know, the fact that they can do magic and shit.
