Man, Haunted confused me.
I enjoyed it while I was reading it, but the ending just kind of left me hanging.
I feel like I needed more of a conclusion.

I know a lot of people who like belle & sebastian. Anything in partivular I should look out for? Like songs?

What's the doom generation? and bear cub? all the others i've seen :)

and what's the first book about?

For belle & sebastian, you must listen to "get me away from here, i'm dying", "step into my office baby", "i'm a cuckoo", "if she wants me", "i don't love anyone".
they're amazing!

The Doom Generation is a cool little indie film by Gregg Araki. It's basically about three teenagers who end up forming a strange threesome after a series of violent misadventures. It's really fucked up!
I highly recommend it!

Annnnd, the book "the curious incident of the dog in the night-time" is a cool little book I picked up in Singapore after being bored of not being able to sleep in noisy indian hotel rooms!
It's about a 15 year old autistic boy who is mega logical and almost totally devoid of emotions. He lives by rules and patterns and stuff until the neighbours dog is killed, and he vows to solve the murder!
Completely hilarious and endearing. You'll love it.

Faith No More & Smashing Pumpkins were 2 artists that I grew to loooove due to my brother. Any Planes Mistaken For Stars songs I should look out for?

& What's Heathers? I think Garden State would win me over. But that's possibly due to Zach Braff. But they're both so wonderful! Did you see/like the Darjeeling Limited?

My Mum has a copy of your number 1 book, she's tried to get me to read it before but I forgot about it. Maybe I'll have to have a look! And eee, I think we've had talks about Sylvia Plath before :)
