Description
Some of my friends in the real world (yes, I have a life outside the internet), say that I'm 'crazy' because I like to read. And reading for FUN? Oh wow, I need to be put in a mental institution. I mean come on, who actually wants to read for fun? No 'normal' person should read for FUN.
I'm so annoyed. So annoyed. Template: [link]

I remember when I was in school, I ordered books and they were given to me in the middle of a history lesson. My teacher passed the books to me and said "Is this a student ordering books I see?" but as I was putting them into my bag, my friend at the time (who was sitting next to me) gave a look of disgust, I asked her what her problem was and she said that books are stupid. I then went on to tell her that the thing she's writing her school work in is a book, and the things she revises from are books also, just different types. She called me a nerd every time I went into the library and lunch and break time (I wouldn't go outside because of anxiety, which she didn't understand) I went to smack her in the face with a hardback book but was stopped. A year or so later, she was reading twilight. Let's just say that I got my revenge.

If people make fun of you for being "bookish", I can assure you, they're jealous because they suck at reading. I should know. I can't keep my eyes on a book if my life depended on it.

Haha, I'm sure you just need to find the right book! ^-^Β

I agree. I definitely love "1984" and "American Psycho". I still haven't even read any Stephen King yet.Β

I just read 1984 for the first time two days ago. It was definitely unnerving and the ending scared me a lot. I enjoyed it though, it was an amazing read. ^-^
Oh, try "The Shining" I think you'll like it.

people also react to what you read. when i said I like Animal Farm more than the hunger games, most of the kids gave me a filthy look.Β Β

Oh that sucks :/ I've never actually read Animal Farm, but I'm sure it's pretty good. To be honest though, The Hunger Games isn't my favourite book I've ever read, though I did enjoy it. I didn't particularly like the second and third books though.

To be honest I'm not keen on classic novels, but Animal Farm was fine

I got quite into classic novels this year, as we had to do this thing in English where we read 6 books and wrote our response to them. So I decided I'd read some books I wouldn't normally read and I'm so glad I did! What kinds of books do you enjoy? Horror, romance, comedy?

I never liked classic novels. Too much text in one place
I like fact books.

That makes sense. They do look very daunting.Β
Oh nice.

If I read Animal Farm again now, I would be daunted by the amount of text. I just liked it being read to me by a teacher
People recommend me adult books and all I see is a wall of text. Not appealing at all

Oh I know what you mean. They can be very hard to get into as well as the writing is a little strange at first. I remember when I read Wuthering Heights for the first time. It took intense concentration haha XD

My favorite book is the outsiders or Anne of green gables

Oh, I've read the start of Anne of Green Gables, I really liked it. ^^ Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to finish it.

Have you read running out of time? How about the giver?

No...sorry.

They're both kind of hard to explain. But I didn't like the ending of the hunger games
