A Book Marathon

I am a bookworm. A real one. I kinda am gonna sound like a snob but i hate when people pretend to read all the time to show off or something i dunno it annoys me.But yeah i love books lol.I would read a book a week at least. I have always read and always will. So in this last week i have gone through two books both complete classics. To Kill A Mockingbird and Night by Ellie Wiesel. So, To Kill A Mockingbird would be one of the best books i have ever read, hands down. I know why it is such a classic, the one thing i don't understand is why it took me so long to read lol. yeah Harper Lee is a genius. If anyone hast read this book, do so. Night is fantastic to. It is the story of Ellie Wiesel a young Jewish boy that during the Holocaust was taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau.Now this book isn't for the faint-heart for sure. It is unbelievable though. both his writing and what he writes about.mmm yep read this to.
A main thing that i like about these books is that they have a very mature theme and you have to really understand the subliminal and be able to follow the sub plots and the little insinuations. I like that they are at a high reading level.
i was given these books by an English teacher, not mine but the other year 10 class's. She said that i was he protegee and that she loved having me around becuase it was refrshing to see someone with a higher general maturity and reading maturity than the rest of my year. I was so flattered!
She said whenever i want another book to see her. She has already given me a pile of 12 books to chew into I'm keen. I reading marathon. Bring It!
If anyone came to me and said "what are 10 books that i must must read?".Both To Kill A Mockingbird and Night would be on that list.
If you haven't read these then, please, do!
Enjoy!
