I don't read books. I just write them.

I didn't even know it was written by a woman. I am surprised.

Yeah, Harper Lee was a total trap name back in school.

I can read manga with girls as the authors, but have a girl write an entire novel? I can't even get past the first chapter.
Son, im disappointed...
Didn't they say some guy wrote it and pretended she wrote it to get more publicity?

So whenever you have an 11 year old around you read that book? What kind of hosed up life are you leading?

Wow, of all the Brazilian book authors you could've "read" you picked Paulo Coelho? Shame on you.
The other books are good though, you should read Machado de Assis when you get a chance.

I was a little anti-social kid XD and I never had a friend so the only thing i can do it was reading and reading

Wow
I'm still not sure if my favorite book is One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest or Catcher in the Rye. It's probably just impossible to compare them.
I've read so many books in my life that there's no way I could even count them...
Right now I'm reading Battle Royale since I've seen the movie and read some of the manga and it was awesome.
Last week I read these:
This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen
Just Listen by Sarah Dessen
(I didn't notice that she wrote both 'til now since I normally just pick books randomly and I borrowed This Lullaby from my little sister 'cuz I had nothing else to read)
Dead and Gone by Charlaine Harris
Boy meets Boy by David Levithan
My self-rule for reading books is:
1. Don't give up on the book unless you've read at least 70 pages.
2. Don't hurt books.
The best books I've read are different depending on what language we're talking about. In Swedish it was Stieg Larsson's trilogy "Millennium" ("The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is the first book. The original title for that one is "Men who hate Women").
The Millennium trilogy are detective fiction-books. But definitely the most awesome detective fiction books I've ever read. If you guys like adventure and detective fiction you should read these. The main character is kick-ass, I love her.
The best books in Spanish are written by Laura Gallego. She also has a trilogy named "Idhun".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Idh%C3%BAn's_Memories
If you can get your hands on those books I really recommend that you read them. They are on the top 5 of Best Books Ever. They are adventure, fantasy. If you like "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" you should totally go for IdhĂșn.
I've also read Isabel Allende (srsly who hasn't?) and her trilogy story on the boy Alex in City of the Beasts is absolutely enchanting.
And now I have to name the best book I've read in English. Errr.. Yea well that's kinda harder but I think I'll go for Anne Rice and Charlaine Harris books. Both write about vampires but they are amazing writers. Anne Rice's "Sleeping Beauty" is the most awesome erotic story in history and Charlaine Harris' book have EVERYTHING I want in a book. Enough said.
Yes, I love books.
