terminally ill Tess, a 16 year old's writes a list she wants to complete before she dies.
Class book, very good read, cant rate it highly enough, very comical at points, but drums it in to you how lucky you are.
as it says on the cover, reminds you to be glad your alive. Expect a few tears. | |

I'm only about 1/4 of the way through it so far but blimey, what an eye-opener eh?
So much i could put here, that seems to be written especially for me and how drastically my life changed toward the end of 20th century.
msg 577 i have read all three of those books. took me years..... too much personal stuff in there that also happened to me. harrowing is a good word to describe it. | |

Harry Potter (on bike) & Era of the Crusades (in car or in bed) at moment. Well a bit of a lie - still read computer texts books for my website development (on the loo usually!!) Oh and 2000AD comic - well have read it from day one & have 1000s now.

If you grew up with The Smiths,Joy Division,Echo and the Bunnymen,were ever a student or unemployed in the 80's or are just plain Northern then this is the book for you.
Then again none of the above really applies to me,apart from being Northern,and I'm loving it! | |

currently reading 2, at the same time, one in each hand. not really. i alternate on an almost nightly basis, short attention span and such, anyway;
Dostoyevsky - Crime and Punishment Balzac - Old Goriot.
both are pretty stellar. but im not too far through either. | |

Not only do they tell you just what Benn is like but they give a fascinating view of what was happening in Government at times such as Suez, the miners strike and Iraq. | |

Zusak's book was fabulous and, considering its subject matter (death, basically) was not at all sentimental. | |
