A Good Bookshop is just a genteel Black Hole that knows how to read.

I watch a book recommendations community on here and someone recently posted asking for recs for books that have changed your life or had a major emotional impact on you.

I started to reply, just thinking of those books where you get to the end, to the final word of the final page and you just think ... whoah. Take a breath and absorb the whole

Fantastic Mr Fox is defo one of mines. I loved that book so much as a child :D

And bless you for giving me Only Forward. That book is in my faves too now. So awesome. Bobsey said he couldn't get into it, SAY WHUT? :p

I've got my good old Red Dragon, The Hobbit and of course HARRY POTTAH! Shutter Island has been added to the faves as well more recently ^_^

OMG NIGERIAN GUY MADE ME ROFL XD Seriously dude, even some of the white people in the adverts could be Nigerian for all he knows! TIT! :p

WHERE DOES MATT GET ALL THESE PUPPIES?! Is he breeding them? Or do cute things just kinda gravitate towards one and other?! XD They always seem to be border collie puppies, SO much more WIN in my book :D

Heehee! I'm so glad someone FINALLY got the awesomeness that is Only Forward! But then we do share a brain, so it makes sense ~_^

Ah I forgot Red Dragon! I still haven't read Silence of the Lambs *fo shame*

I know! I was like there are white peoples from Nigeria too right?? Frickin wierdo =P

Yeah Gube is like his own little planet of adorkable so he probably just collects them ^_^

Haha! Yeah it's ok to disagree with me ~_^ I'm a sucker for twists. Throughout the whole thing I was constantly like .... SAY WHAT?! And by the time I got to the end it was just one big WTF JUST HAPPENED... and I like that ^_^ I also love how bleak his stuff is. It's just so freakin cynical, like life is meaningless and love is an illusion and we're all gonna die, The End. It appeals to me cause it calls bullshit on... well everything and it made me kind of uncomfortable and forced me to face up to things I hadn't before. So yeah I liked it ^_^

I actually haven't read His Dark Materials, I totally forgot about it, I shall add it to my list of things to read. That sounds kind of like a Niel Gaiman story, been meaning to try him too =P

I actually thought I had Brave New World, apparently I don't so that's going on the list too!

Thanks for the recs dear, and the two cents ~_^

[x_xd0llix_x]

~_^ Kiddin on Puggs.

Hehe I think he actually just wanted in the advert! Stupid man =P
