Curios George be my shit
Need to be a little more curious, George... Alas I've forgotten, does that monkkey know how to spell? What about proper grammar? Hurmm?

Please don't think that I'm trying to be snobby, but it's been so long since the last time I picked up one of those books I've only merely forgotten.

To quote me on my grammar is a curious thing indeed, for i feel i have an adept grasp of the English language.

My Kindle is loaded down with over 100 hundred books, so yeah I read =P

I have business books, fantasy novels, horror, biographies and crime drama books. There are so many I enjoy I could not possibly list them all.

My parents were big on making me and my brother read, and when he left, I had over 500 books sitting in my bookshelves. I've read about 90% of the books, but one of my top favorites was Deltora Quest. Did anyone else read that when theyn were young?

Apart from that, I found the Darren Shan vampire and demonata books pretty amazing.
The Inheritance series (Eragon/Eldest/Brisingr/Inheritance) was an awesome series, I just found the ending a bit of a disappointment.
I also read a bit of poetry, mostly shakespeare and ts elliot.

Mortal instruments, Percy Jackson, heroes of the olympus and Darren Shan are the greatest book that I have seen.
Dies anyone find the book game of thrones quite messy and disorder, cause I found it so.
