Of course they like reading JK as it is easy to understand. That's why I love reading young adult books instead of adult books because you don't really have to think about what you are reading.

That story made me lol when I read it the other day. I may once have lied about reading War and Peace, but only because the girl I was arguing with was irritating the hell out of me.

Honestly, I don't know how people haven't read 1984. Maybe the syllabus has changed since I was at school, but everyone had to read it when the were 14-ish. That and Animal Farm.

I only read half of 1984. It upset me too much to finish it. But I've read loads of other stuff - honest.
