Make like a library, and book it!

Books. I come from a time when it was not so long ago that "television was called books". Even though I am a true child of the 80's, growing up with the Gummibears, Looney Tunes and Dungeons and Dragons cartoons, I can't remember when I didn't love reading. The ability to flee to some other world, to sometimes even wish the characters to be real!
And also, the true pack-rat that I am, I still have some of my first books ever:



 For those of you who have just tuned in, I am a fan of the Twilight Saga books (and movies). Nothing big. It's not like I'd sleep on the coldest, windiest street of whole London with 2 of my friends to wait 30+ hours in order to see the guy (whatshisface?) who plays Edward Cullen in the movies...sjah, as if!

Me and "Whatshisface" Robert Pattinson
 These classics I have already read (most bottom book being Anne Frank's diary). I absolutely love Mitch Albom's books!


 These books I have already started reading:


Now this stack right here, is on my 'to-read' list: (The Twilight books in the background should be on yours!)


So, these 2 books I strongly recommend, as does Stephanie Meyer, author of the Twilight books:



 'Warm Bodies' is the last book I have read, and I seldom have the urge to re-read a book immediately. Except with this one. Maybe it's because this is Isaac Marion's first book, or because he has had no experience in writing (not even college) and just wrote it. I was hooked after the first 2 sentances: "I am dead, but it's not so bad. I've learned to live with it".

There are sooo many other books I want to read, every time I walk into a bookstore I feel like Mel Gibson in "Conspiracy Theory', I *have* to get a book. It just doesn't have to be 'Catcher in the Rye'.

Let me know if you have any good suggestions, and I suggest you follow this guys advice should you catch someone -me- reading:
