Will in the World
let me light up the sky, light it up for you
let me tell you why, i would die for you
When you whisper, you must be absolutely as sincere as when you scream. 9 out of every 10 problems in relationships can be solved by talking. So why are we so damn quiet?

I'm reading Frankenstein and The Secret Life of Bees for school, but I'm re-reading ttfn by Lauren Myracle on the side. I just finished some truly amazing books and I still have a few laying around that I need to read, but I have stuff to read for school so I can't really afford to start any really good stuff cause then I won't read the stuff for school! :P

Jeez, how much do they recycle the GCSE syllabus??! I had to do Of Mice And Men as well...
And we also looked at An Inspector Calls, too. It bored the hell out of me. I think we spent atleast three weeks reading it and picking apart every last word of it... : (

After finishing off A Clockwork Orange and Twilight yesterday, and also enduring the mind numbing of Animal Farm, I started today on a book called In The Dark Of The Night by John Saul. Kind of interesting, but it's nothing special. I want to get is finished by tonight so I can re-start New Moon tomorrow, so I need to get reading!
I've decided I'm going to try to read atleast a book a week this year, and if i keep going through books like I am at the moment it looks like I'm going to get through atleast seventy/eighty-ish!
Gotta love library cards!

Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumoured by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."
