Books

I've just started reading One Day. I hate reading a book after seeing the film because it ruins it for me. Books made into films invariably miss out huge chunks, massive, important plotlines (one example: Frankenstein. If you like the book, don't see the film. You'll hate it). So, I wanted to read this first. Because I know I'm going to see the movie...mainly because I'm a sucker for a good love story, but also because I have a massive girl crush on Anne Hathaway.

 And I'm in love with it already. I love diving into the world of Dexter and Emma. When I'm reading it, I feel like I can see them in front of me, such is the quality of David Nicholls' writing. I can hear Emma's rich Yorkshire accent and Dexter's corny faux-Cockney one. I can almost...associate myself with them. When Dexter left his copy of Howards End in that bar in India, found by a fat German, with that letter to Emma tucked into the cover, I wanted to cry at the wonderful, bittersweet thought of what could've been. I'm up to 1994 now. I can't wait to read the rest, even if it does bring me to tears.

I don't read enough anymore. My world has been taken over by the Internet, my iPhone and music. I miss feeling the weight of a good book in my hands, feeling that the words in the book could possibly just change my life.

So, I've made a promise to myself. I'm going to read more. I NEED to read more.

BUT. I don't know what to read. So, suggestions are welcome :)
