Do any of you read books? What do you like to read and what is the latest book you've read?

I like reading but lately I haven't had much time for it. The latest one I read was a hungarian book because it was necesarry for school about 2 weeks ago. By the way I like to read every kind of book really.

I love reading! I read anything I can get my hands on!! I'm a huge Star Wars fan, so I read everything set before Episode 4. I'm the biggest Harry Potter fan on the boards (except I dont' like Harry, I'm a Draco, Lucius, MWPP kinda gal). So I own all of those books, including a rare first edition copy of Harry Potter and the Philosphers Stone (complete with font and editing mistakes). But my favourite book is by a women called Jaclyn Moriarty (sp). It's called 'Feeling Sorry for Celia'. It's the best book in the entire world (followed by HP and the PoA). The latest book I read was Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde, because I bought The League of Extrordinary Gentlemen and I became obsessed with it. The Hyde in the book is quite different to the one in the movie. Awesome book.
Peace, Rotae

Rotae, how nice! Gonna look for that book in the shops here. Whats it about?
I myself love Harry as well. But watching the movie I absolutly love Plank (has he got the same name in England? He is teamleader of harrys quidditchteam).
I love reading as well. Just read 'white oleander'. Great book. Cant wait to see the film. Now Im reading a thriller about an old couple that has been murdered in a farmers town in Sweden. The last words the old lady said before she died were: foreigner. So now the whole village reacts their anger on the nearby home for fugetives....

I never get much peace and quiet to read - which is what I need to get into it otherwise i read the same page about 20 times and not be able to say what it's about at all, lol. I haven't read anything for a couple of months.
I only usually read horror/thriller stuff. Stephen King is my best friend. (j/k) ;D

Sab! I'm so glad that you called him Plank! It's sooooo funny!
Me and my friend Merry (who's finally joined yay!), were listening to an interview with Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) and Sean Biggerstaff (Oliver Wood) and we couldn't believe that it was plank!! We laughed for hours!! And apparently the Weasley's are Wemel? Is that right?? lol.
Anyways, Feeling Sorry for Celia is a book filled with letters. The main character (Elizabeth Clarry) has a new pen pal (Chistina Katrovac (sp)) and it's their letters, plus letters from Elizabeth to her mother and back (they live in the same house! Weird, to send letters to someone you see everyday right?). But there's also these letters that come from organisations (that I think Elizabeth makes up herself) like the Society of Beautiful People and Land Of Nod Inc. It's so funny here's an exerpt:
Dear Ms Clarry,
It has come to our attention that you are incredibly bad at being a teenager. I mean, take a look at your bedroom. You haven't got any posters on your wall. (Don't try to tell us that that picture counts. A kitten drowing in a strawberry milkshake? Designed by your mother as an ad for carpet cleaner? Give us a break.) You have a paper chain made of old Christmas cards hanging from your curtain rod. The only makeup you have is banana-flavoured lip gloss and it's melting all over your Teletubbies quilt cover. (Acutally, we don't think that lip gloss counts as makeup at all.) Not to hurt your feelings or anything, but you are an embarrassment to teenagerhood. Therefore, could you please climb into the refrigerator and wait very quietly until you teenage years end?
Thank you.
Yous sincerely,
Tha Association of Teenagers.
P.S. Also, you don't seem to understand how to get a snow tan. You look like a slice of watermelon.
Anyway... I love it.
'Feeling Sorry for Celia by Jaclyn Moriarty - A bitter-sweet novel of love, letters and lemon souffle.'
Peace, Rotae
