I read a LOT of books. I practically have my own library. At the moment I'm reading a book on the Objective-C programming language, so not exactly an exciting story, but I've read a wide range of fiction too.

I also love the Georgia Nicolson series, they're very funny. I read a lot of nonfiction about animals and science and just whatever I'm interested in that week, but some fiction books I like are:
The Cather in the Rye by JD Salinger
The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
A Separate Peace by John Knowles
This Side of Paradise by F Scott Fitzgerald
The Shining by Stephen King
Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes

It varies, I prefer to be writing the books than reading them. I haven't really bothered reading a lot in the last year. I've had my face more permanently stuck to my computer monitor lol.

Im currently reading the catcher in the rye, then im moving on to kill a mockingbird and i have read the perks of being a wallflower, wonderful book, one of my favourites, although i do wonder what was wrong with Charlie, and why he let Patrick kiss him, im guessing it was all to do with the fact he was sexually abused. I so wish my English teacher was like bill =D

I love to read!
I've had a go at writing some of my own stuff, and I seem quite good at it. I'm mostly doing that at the moment, so I haven't read many books recently.

Doesn't really matter what age you are unless it's related to "teenage life."

I own my own library consisting of between 100-200 Fiction books, and 150+ non Fiction books. Previously, I enjoyed reading Fiction books, but ever since my Astronomy obsession began, I have only been reading Scientific books. Alot. I currently am reading over 5 books relating to Astronomy !

You've got awesome taste!! !! :D "Catcher" is classic, and "Perks" seems like its unintentional sequel!! "Flowers For Algernon" is also fantastic!! :D I've heard good things about "This Side of Paradise" but haven't read it

A Land Remembered By Patrick Smith
Dragon Champion by E. E. Knight
Dragon Outcast by E. E. Knight*
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The Kite Runner by Khaled Houssini(I think that's his name)
First They Killed My Father by Loung Ung
Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky*

*Two of them I'm not finished with but already they're shaping up to be very good.

I like memoirs, sci-fi, historical fiction, allegory, post-apocalyptic/dytopian fiction, and books about dragons.

I read different books although what with exams I haven't had much time lately. I like horror, fantasy, graphic novels and that sort of thing. Then again I do read non-fiction and the occasional classic. 8)
