Favorite coffee table book

I don’t own any really, but my parents have loads lying around the house! One which i really like is “Cement Eclipses” by Isaac Cordal, with lots of photographs of little model people in urban settings!

Book you’re currently reading

“Starcrossed” by Josephine Angelini – who needs vampires when you can have demigods!

Last book you read

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay” by Suzanne Collins!! Epic book!

Favourite fiction book

I’m sure I’ve answered this already! It’s hard to pin down just one book, but I still love the Harry Potter books!

Favorite nonfiction book

Probably “Friends… til the end – The One with all 10 years”, the book that ties in with the Friends TV series. I was a big fan of the series, and still watch the DVD boxset every now and then!

Favorite book you read in school

Probably “Z for Zachariah” by Robert C. O’Brien which i think i read in Year 9 English. It’s really creepy but fascinating. I’m planning to get a copy of it as i want to read it again!

Book that contains your favorite scene

Wow, that’s a great question! Difficult though, as i don’t really have one! I tend to like the really sad scenes in books, so the one i’ve chosen is in “The Amber Spyglass” by Philip Pullman, where Lyra has to leave her dæmon, Pantalaimon, behind when she goes to the world of the dead. It is truly heart-wrenching stuff reading about how she struggles to separate herself from him but not wanting to leave him alone.

Book you tell people you’ve read, but haven’t (or haven’t actually finished)

The worst example is “Utopia” by Thomas More, which i was supposed to read for my dissertation (which i chose myself!) but i never actually read it properly! How i managed to use it in my dissertation, i’m not sure! (I still got a decent grade in it, so didn’t cause me too many problems!)
