While on holiday I bought roughly a metric fuckton of books from various charity shops (save money AND be nice!) and so I've got an enormous pile of Colin Forbes to work through :)

Im reading the book SPEAK. quite juvenile and one of those coming of age stories. i have to read it for my english class but i really like it.

I had that book as summer reading for my first year of high school, and I quite enjoyed it.

A joke used to imply that "fuckton", which is a colloquialism with a meaning similar to "shitload", is an actual unit of measurement similar to the tonne, which exists in both imperial and metric systems.

I started the Dresden Files series. It's quite good. Noir and fantasy mixed, very entertaining.

Still reading A Game of Thrones, by George R Martin, very good book, but boy is it healthy in terms of length!

Two advices:
- Do not talk about the story with your friends who read further than you! Everybody always make what they believe to be "subtle" comments about what will happen and will spoil everything that's going to happen.
- After you finish a chapter, read Leah's comments on it and see if your guesses match her. She's very entertaining to read: http://www.tor.com/features/series/a-read-of-ice-and-fire

Currently re-reading "Gates of Fire" (which does reference how the Spartans lived in social nudity), and starting to read "The Professional", both by Steven Pressfield.

Did you watch the Game of Thrones TV series? It's pretty faithful to the book.
