Poxy autocorrect. I meant The Book Thief. I read it before the film came out but the film was a good adaptation

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
I've read The Monkeys Paw, that was W.W. Jacobs though. I've got a few horror/ghost story collection books. I've only read older horror/ghost type stories though.
Last month I read the entire Adrian Mole series of books(Sue Townsend)
I then read The Quarry by Iain Banks
Currently reading The Queen and I by Sue Townsend
I think I may have a thing for deceased authors
I've just read a most brilliant book!
The curious incident of the dog in the night-time.by Mark Haddon
Its about a 15yr old boy with aspergers syndrome.
The author has written a lot of childrens books and this was his 1st one that was for adults even tho he released a childrens version of it aswell at the same time.a very insightfull book and well written
I've also recently read The shock of the fall by Nathan Filer
This one won the Costa Book of the year in 2013
Nathan Filer is a registered CPN and its his 1st book
Its about a young boy who's diagnosed with schizophrenia
Once again another insightfull book.
I highly recommend both
Thanks, those are both the kind of thing I like, so I'll add them to my ever growing "must read" list...
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
Another that may interest you suzi is The Humans by Matt Haig.
The main characters view on humans is based on the authors experiences of suffering panic attacks
Mark Haddon's book is excellent. I read it quite a few years ago and it's always stuck with me. I love how he numbered the chapters to reflect the main characters mannerisms.
Have you read any of his others? I've got A spot of bother and The red house on my to read pileOriginally Posted by Jaquaia
I always meant to but never got round to them. I should add them to my to read pile but if I add any more the pile would collapse!
I'm reading Floodtide by Clive Cussler love his books as they are full of suspense
If you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t run, then walk, if you can’t walk, then crawl, but by all means keep moving.
