Writer's Block: LiveJournal Book Club

  • 8th May, 2009 at 10:12 PM

Out of all of your favorite books, pick just one you'd recommend everyone read. As a bonus: why did you pick that one?


View 505 Answers

I would recomend The Shinning by Stephen King and The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.
The Shinning was the second book (and first novel) I read by Stephen King and was just really enjoyable to read. Stephen King is one of my favorite writers, so it's just a classic in my opinion. The description is much better than the film, even though the film is one of my favorites.
The Kite Runner, which I read quite recently, is just a brilliant book. The sense of deep feeling and the different mood changes is really enjoyable to journey through.

What scientific or medical breakthrough do you most want to happen in your lifetime?

I think a cure for cancer is what I would want the most. My grandmother died of it, and there is a hell of a lot of people dying from even at young ages, as I'm sure you know. It seems a bit ridiculous now, I think they need to find it soon.

Ugh someone take me away from my Xbox! The Sims are taking over my lifee D:
It's getting a bit too hard though. >:( I used to be good at games like that. My Nintendo DS is getting neglected atm so I might improve a level on that. Luckily I only have one Sims game for that hehe.
My art work is finally coming along ok! My teacher has forced me to go through with the lessons until the ten hour exam, which I'm sure won't go well, and supposedly my coursework will improve it's score. :(

Do you consider yourself an optimist, a pessimist, or a realist?


View 500 Answers

I concider myself to be a realist, even though I try not to be, reality is quite depressing at times. My mum tends to tell me it whenever I ruin her plans which she's thought out. I must like contradicting people. Maybe I strive to be correct too often.

Ahh I can't wait for Sunday :D New episode of Being Human!! YAYY AIDANN <33

OK. Being Human squeeing over.

I'm thinking about dropping art. I must admit, I'm getting no where with it. I'm not doing the work so I apparently I'm going to get a low grade even if I carry on. I think I'm kinda ok with my art work, sometimes terrible, but I didnt think I would leave it this late and get left behind. She gave me a big talk about how I need to improve my game if I want to get this GCSE. I mean, I dont need this now! I've got fucking Spanish and Maths to deal with, not just art. Plus it's not even a proper subject! I didn't think it would be this stressful. I get really jealous when I see how beautiful other students work is, then look back at mine and think "Oh God... this needs bining." If I do drop it, I'll have a 3 hour gap in my timetable on Fridays with nothing to do. All my other teachers will probably be busy with younger students. Three hours sitting on my own. With nothing to do but probably read. I don't think I could handle three hours straight reading. I don't even know where I would even go!

I guess it's just one more GCSE I'm not gonna get.

Yay for me, nearly finished Twilight! I still don't have New Moon, will have to remember to buy it on Saturday if I go out :P

SNOWW :D

Britain is covered in it! Heaviest fall in six years!!!
It's just so strange because we usually get these stupid whisps of snow, but this is real, proper thick snow! It's amazing. It gradually got thicker as the day went on, but the cold didnt really bother me, apart from the numb fingers and toes haha.

I've just watched Being Human for the 3rd time, I really am getting addicted to Mitchell, I need to stay away!

Stupeed school is now more stricter, "wear your blazor and take that scalf off..." (N)

Ugh I've just lost another earing. Lucky me.

Really boring day. Compared to the day I was planning... So much for going to see Frost/Nixon eh, Natalie? Which reminds me, I didn't phone Sarah to tell her I wasn't going, she probably gathered. I watched the second installment of Being Human (even though I saw it last night :P) on the TV with my sister, it's a really good series, even though I've only seen the first two episodes. Best thing they've but on BBC Three in a long time, IMO. Well apart from the occasional hour of Family Guy. The BBC is trying to higher it's standards I surpose. Ugh, school. I haven't done any homework, but I done think any's due tomorrow. I amazed I actually stayed away from my computer for so long today :)

Went to town with my mum today :)
Saw the new Egyptian wing, it was really cool. She bought me a necklace which had the Eye of Horus and like loads of earing. I took a few photos of Liverpool because I didn't take my camera for nothing! Just some pics of the Cavern Club and stuff. I think I might upload them soon. Just tried to talk Natalie into making herself a Livejournal, but she says she weird and can't make one because she "can't pour herself into a diary". I know like, no one on here. Oh well. :)

Just watching Being Human on BBC 3 :) Aidan Turner (Mitchell) is just amazing. I mean, he's Irish (!!) and a Vampire. & his eyes and hair are gorgeous <3 I think I might just watch it for him now xD (and Annie's fiancee reminds me of someone...) I actually had quite a good day today apart from my mother's moody-ness. I had a day off school because it was half day, no lessons. Feast Day apparently. Just charity events and to watch a movie. Talk about boring. I guess that's all since it's like 1.10 am haha. :D

Some facts about today:

  • Was told I had the option of being entered in the higher Spanish paper! 'Twas a happy and shocking moment.
  • I think I actually might do  the higher English paper.
  • My face is beginning to clear up! Hopefully soon all my spots will be gone. :D
  • I was on the phone to Sarah before for about an hour before haha.
  • Disscused the option of going into Sixth Form which I definately am! It sounds really good, with options like Photography or Film Studies. I will be at the openning evening next thursday, and plus it's getting all new stuff, like a new kitchen, new television and games consoles and everything :)
I wish I had more to say :)

Ah, the joys of spanish course work at 11pm. How long does it take to finish it! I seriously need to be faster.
My English teacher asked me on Tuesday if I would like to be entered for the Higher paper, which I could get a C, B or A. I've decided I won't, she gave me some past papers to look at, they seem a bit to difficult even though I've shown the potential because I got a C in the lower paper, which is the highest you could get. Oh well, it looks like I'll have to stick with that for my final grade if I get it.
Everyone freaking out about me today! I stayed behind in IT to finish some coursework, I told like two of my friends that I was going to be doing this, mum gets all freaked out wondering where I am, my sister balls her eyes out worried sick, mum phones Natalie and asks if I'm with her, Natalie phones Becca and asks if I went to town with her, I never so Becca begins to freak out too! I actually feel quite loved. :) Thank God they didn't send out a search party!

I have the urge to post :)
I guess I'm just guilty about not posting so often. I must admit, I suck at remembering to. Plus my life is so uneventful :P
Emily made my day with her Miss Cavanagh story, genius. I'm also getting quite into Twilight which is a good sign, a bit tedious at though
. I watched Alice In Wonderland when I came home from school, I forgot how awesome a film it really is! Gets me more stoked about the new Tim Burton adaptation :D It made me nostalgic, remembering all the little parts and lines to it. The Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter are probably my favorite characters in it, I couldn't help but laugh! I also remember crying for some reason, at the part were Alice gets lost in the woods and all the creatures are crying, must of been a bit emotional that day :)

I love From Under The Cork Tree. That album has one of the best vocal performaces EVER. Patrick, I heart you. :)
Cannot wait 'till the 5th. FOB CONCERT WOOHOO.

I bought Twilight (in book form)! It's really cool so far, my friend Becca is also reading it. She bought it like last Friday and she's practically finished it haha. I'm dying to see Frost/Nixon in the pictures, silly Natalie with her "I don't have enough" excuse. She does want to see it, after all, she is in lovez with Kevin Bacon. Roll on Saturday! I need to see it then. Hopefully Becca & Sarah will come along too. Me and Natalie found this amazing American diner, it looks awesome. Plus it's cheap! Rare :) I finally got bateries for my camera! Been meaning to get them for weeks now. Becca! Give me back my Sunshine DVD! It's getting missed :( AND NATALIE! God, she's had my Brokeback Mountain, Batman Begins and My Heart Will Always Be The B-Side CD/DVD.  Also being missedd! Hurry pplz!

GCSE tomorrow. I don't know how I'm coping. Everyone's like "don't worry, you'll do well" but I don't feel any more confident. I just hope (PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE) I'll do well.

I feel a bit better today exam wise. Still need a bit of help on quite a few topics, though. I just really hope I do get that D, it will be the highlight of my year, along with the other good results I get. I just hope I get decent ones. Omg, who knew art coursework could be so stressful, plus I'm getting so frustrated and my presumption of my skills becoming worse seem to be coming true.

I HATE FIRE DRILLS

Ignore me.

super!
I'm aimed for a D or E in my GCSE maths. Which I'm really not happy about, because I need to get a C to get into univercity, and if I don't get in then I won't become an Egyptologist. I'm starting to seriously doubt it, or even going to Egypt this year. If I do get a D then I get a chance to do the higher paper, which I could get a C for my final grade if I do well. I'm also failing in art because I'm seriously lacking in coursework. I drew a few pictures in my sketchbook but that seemed to stress me out more and I still have  A LOT more to get on with or I will fail. I'm just glad she didn't tell me out-right that I was going to fail, but she put me in her room to work and try to catch up. I really do hope I get a C because that's all I can get. No other option, or if I get less, I don't think I could cope. AND the fact I need to do my Spanish coursework by remebering each paragraph then writing it down on a seperate sheet. Great! More work I need to do, thanks school!

Woolworths shut its doors in the U.K. last week, sending many into a frenzy of nostalgia and bargain shopping. What now-closed store or chain do you wish was still open?

I felt awful about the Liverpool Woolworths store closing. I mean, it was the first store to be opened in the UK. I don't really wish any other chain was open right now, Woolworths was just an awful loss. It has been going for 99 years. :(
