Mine is I Am Ozzy by Ozzy Osbourne which is far better than it deserves to be. Hilarious and sad and filled with outrageous stories that'll keep you engaged. It's such a great page turner. Obvious it's been transcribed for him but you still can hear his voice when you read it. Just terrific.

I've even got my own small library lol I honestly find them a bore, most of the time. There really hasn't been a book that really stuck with me. There's been books where it was enjoyable, but nothing that stuck with me. I find music or movies do a much better job. In fact some books I found to be an absolute nightmare to read. Among them include: 1. Roll of thunder hear my cry (AKA The daily uninteresting life of a black family in the south filled with absolutley no point or story whatsoever) 2. Lord of the Flies (AKA Overdescriptive Lord of the Overdescription Flies) 3. An Inconvient Truth (AKA It's Al Gore) |

A really good book series I read was the Seems, probably the only book series that I enjoyed so much that I spent my days sitting on the bed doing nothing but reading them... It's so hard to find good/enjoyable books for me these days, maybe it's my taste. I used to love books... |

Or maybe you just don't like most of the books you have read because you had to read them for school rather than out of your own free will. Hell, I dislike most of the stuff I've had to read from school! |

Hell, I dislike most of the stuff I've had to read from school! Problem is I have no idea what to read for myself. I tried reading books for myself, but they end up being very boring and I get tired real easily. With movies I'll usually stick around because I rarely get bored of movies...But books...Oh man, if I don't find it intersting I don't see the need to subject myself to intellectual torture. If you like it that's fine but it doesn't seem to be for me :/ Which is definatley a shame, because reading a good book is one of the best feelings in the world, I know. |

Just get a book on a topic that you know you'll be interested in. For me, for example, it would be music and politics |

And some books can be really expensive, so much so that I wonder if it's worth buying or not. And some books don't allow you to open them before you buy it which makes it even more hard to choose. |

Well then.... I know that's the case in Japan, but here you can open it and read through it a bit at the bookstore before buying it... in fact some bookstores even supply couches to sit on |
