Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell! It's a great book that basically explains how a lot of success is down to luck and advantages as opposed to just working hard and talent.Quote:

Ready Player One
I finished this last night, Spielberg is turning it into a movie. I had low expectations, but it was a surprisingly good read!
Touching the Void by Joe Simpson.
I strongly recommend you read All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven.
It is amazing.
So who's watched or read The Fault in Our Stars? I love that film, and the book. So I'm not usually into that type of thing but these two books really caught my eye. On the book it actually says 'The new fault in our stars - This is it!' underneath the title. I don't want to spoil anything but it's really emotional, so if you're not emotionally strong, I suggest grabbing some tissues just in case. However, here is a tiny insight on to what the book is about. It says this on the front:
"The story of a girl who learns to live from a boy who wants to die"

If you like non-fiction books, i'd say the Chicken Soup series. They have different books for different categories, like stories
of dogs or cats or families, or high school or of success stories. I find them pretty inspirational and it is a good book to bring
on the long run in life!
Im currently reading girl on the train. Its quite good so far. I'd recommend that!
the messenger - markus zusak

A 3 part adventure novel not spoiling Fantacy Setting
Harry Turttle Dove: Beyond the Gap
Harry Turttle Dove: The Breath Of God
Harry Turttle Dove:The Golden Shrine
I've almost finished The Art of Being Normal and it's so, so good. It was slightly predictable in someways, but I still recommend it.
A description I nicked from Amazon:
Two boys. Two secrets. David Piper has always been an outsider. His parents think he's gay. The school bully thinks he's a freak. Only his two best friends know the real truth - David wants to be a girl. On the first day at his new school Leo Denton has one goal - to be invisible. Attracting the attention of the most beautiful girl in year 11 is definitely not part of that plan. When Leo stands up for David in a fight, an unlikely friendship forms. But things are about to get messy. Because at Eden Park School secrets have a funny habit of not staying secret for long ...
