Reading

Reading, Something I feel I should be doing more of, I can only benefit from reading more. I always feel reluctant to pick up a book, because I take a while to get into what i'm reading so for the first few pages i'm basically forcing myself to keep on going , and more often then not i'll give up and go watch t.v. or something hahaha. But when i do get over this initial hump I genuinely start enjoying myself and I find it difficult to stop, this always catches me by surprise i'm continually amazed by the way reading can spark ones imagination, provoke thought and expand your vocabulary

Here is the list of books i've since about the beginning of last year, they're all either best sellers or have movies made, so pretty well known books.

The Bridges of Madison County by Robert James Waller
Given to me by a friend (Katrina), it's a relatively short read, which is why she thought i'd like it haha, an engaging book i probably read like half of it on the train ride home that day, about an intense love affair, that leaves you strangely haunted at the end.

Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

The Twilight series
Something of a guilty pleasure I know, I was working at the cinema when the first movie was released and before that i'd never heard of Twilight, the movie was so insanely popular so I decided to see what the hype was all about. Knowing the book is always better than the movie I thought I should read the book. I must admit that I quite liked reading Twilight, even though the story is nothing original I still enjoyed the teenage love story with vampires. Then I gave the rest of the series a crack, they all kind of pail in comparison to the first book, not a whole lot happens, reading them was kind of a tedious process. But I might as well have finished what I started.
