WORLD BOOK DAY!!

Today is World Book Day. Why not celebrate by deciding to read that one book you've always wanted to but havenever got around to starting. I'm going to try Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Know the story but have never actually read the book. I've downloaded it to my Kindle, so I'll get going this evening. What books would you like to read?

The Perks of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chobsky
Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But Charlie can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor…
