VINTAGE
It's stopped raining, so that's good.
I am rather belatedly reading The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time which is an incredible book.
The kitchen refurb is going well. About to put the cupboard doors back in place.
After an extended and voluntary sabbatical (most of this year, basically) I have decided I must find work again. Just have to face up to phone-calls to/from recruiters, my least-favourite form of life (most of them, anyway).
I tried so hard to like Divergent because I would have liked to launch myself into a new fandom, but I just couldn't find any redeeming features in the book beyond "lots of people like them so there must be something there" and "the author is really young and successful and that's inspiring." I would have been quite OK with Tris being cold and calm (like
VioletVictoria or Daisy or Christopher or Sabriel), but rather than seeming to possess those character traits, to me, she just read empty.Couple of suggestions:
Don't what your interested in, but the above is pretty good all round list.
The Dark Tower books are an amazing read. Fantasy fiction. 7 books in the series, with an 8^th written latter that is kinda supposed to be in the middle somewhere. It is an addictive read, and yet I haven't finished it yet. I'm not very good at describing books, and I don't want to ruin it at all. So I'm afraid you'll have to look up reviews. But they are brilliant, and I really must finish them!
Derren Brown is (if you don't know) a British illusionist with an absolutely unbelievable set of skills. He is constantly de-bunking psychics, and magic in general, while at the same time making you believe he is magic (even if you have absolutely no belief in magic at all)! This book explains some of the tricks he does, and how to perform a lot of things. From simple disappearing coins, to insane memory capabilities. Very interesting read. Another one that is really hard to put down.
The Simpsons Mathematical Secrets book is something I found accidentally while being really nerdy and watching this video. It turns out that a lot of The Simpsons writers are mathematicians. These guys slip nerdy Easter Eggs into the episodes, and Simon goes through them all. The video linked talks about how numbers should be difference for the Simpsons, as they only have 4 fingers (3 and a thumb) where as we have 5. This makes us use a base 10 number system, they should use a base 8 number system. Fundamentally changing things like Pi. The writers knew this. But there is one, and only one, character in The Simpsons who has 5 fingers (4 and a thumb), and so this is why they live in a decimal world - The only character is God, and he controls the number system for some reason.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time is a book I had to read in school. It is an amazing diary like "murder mystery novel like no other". It is narrated by a 15 year old boy with Asperger's Syndrome. It has been a while since I read this, so I don't remember a lot about it, but I remember reading it a couple of times before the rest of my class got around to finishing it. Not a long book, but a very good one!
I included Harry Potter, because its an obvious choice. It's also the only one from the above that I've finished (other than The Curious Incident). I've finished all 7 books. But never got around finishing the others (only got the Simpsons one for Christmas). If you haven't seen the films, read the books first. They are 100 times better. Seriously. But the films are like icing on the amazing cake that is HP, so don't avoid them either. This isn't just a kids book/film like some people assume.
Pets with Tourette's is a picture book. Not for kids. The things these pets say sometimes, disgraceful.
Can't think of any others, but probably because it is 4am here. Hahaha.
EDIT: Grammar and formatting errors.

[Well there's this] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Curious-Incident-Dog-Night-time/dp/0099450259/ref=reg_hu-rd_add_1_dp) but I feel like I should keep to the 'under 5'.
So. [This is also good] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/NW-Zadie-Smith/dp/0141036591/ref=reg_hu-rd_add_1_dp).
So Happy Birthday Diaju! Do you like to read too?
