I love to read and writing is something I love too, though I'm still "in training." If I had a plot for a story, it'd have to make absolute sense and be realistic, meaning people act like they would in real life, though for sure I'd throw in some crazy fiction, to make things still unexpected but expectable, so when u read it, ur like Wow, I didn't see that coming but I shoulda. I've never written anything where someone was killed, where there was no betrayal, lying. THere always has to be a clever bad guy (who makes freaking sense and isnt evil because he likes it) and has some clever scheme and motive. The main character has to be likeable otherwise, people just get sick of him and the book. Setting is either a tropical jungle, in the mountains, or in the darkest parts of the city. I just love thrilling parts of the book so there has to be alot of fighting, but never too much death or ur never really sad when someone dies cause it was so obvious he was gonna die. Everything in the book has to be unexpected but also make complete sense and the read has to be able to follow the characters' thoughts. Book writing has to be real but also unreal enough so that people arent like "well, my day was like that yesterday." I love writing and write just for fun sometimes. But u get the picture of how I'd write.

There was a character I serious hated in The Harry Potter books. Everybody has read that and people will probably kill me for this but I just hated Ron. Seriously, reminds me of a lot of people in my life I just hated. I wanted to go into the book and blast him to bits at time. I loved the books and I know the author's putting Ron like that in there was for a reason and made sense, but I really wanted to grab ahold of him by the neck and watch him turn blue.

Ok, alot of people I've met loved this book but I personally hated it. Walk Two Moons, ugh, and yeah the reason I hated it was cause of the main character. Read it so long ago I cant even remember her name but the story just sounded like a big boring tale of little misfortunes and I really didnt see any point at ALL. I personally hated it cause thr story just sounded like someone was telling you their life story with all the little useless details. Sure the book was a bit more realistic than other books, but I mean, there was no point at all. It might as well have been a biography about some little everyday girl, I'll tell you, I'd never read anything like that on purpose.

I like pretty much any kind of book as long as it has a story and as long as its not a romace or biography or one of those Dummie's Guide books. Those books make me really mad, dont ask why. lol. Romance, nope, I dont read those, I think they are too boring. I like fantasy, sci-fi(mostly), and pretty much anything else as long as the main character or narator isn't complaining about his/her life. Books where people complain annoy me unless they have a point.O yeah, I hate horror. Unless I'm like reading in the middle or a potentially dangerous room, which isn't likely, the horror affect doesn't work.

That guy's name was stuck in my head from the beginning.

Fahrenheit 451- Ray Bradbury

Up Next: Bigger Thomas

P.S: Try to do the last character somebody put up. Don't post something until you put an answer to someone else's thing please. Keeps this thing going the right way.

For me, reading is absolutely impossible to read unless I'm lying or sitting down, preferably on some super comfy recliner or a bed with too many blankets. I try to tell myself to carry a book with me but I absolutely hate re-reading any books unless its been like a year or 2 since i read them, and unfortunately, as soon as I get my hands on a book, its finished. I also tend to forget to carry it with me. Absolute quite is a must unless its a place where I sit down and drink coffee, for some reason, chatter in those places doesn't seem to bother me.

I don't care what anyone says about the Harry Potter series, as long as they don't say the moview for it were good. The movies made me sick and I almost threw up, laughed to death, and chocked on my popcorn at the same time when I was watching it. The movie was just distgusting. The books, honestly, were so much better.
If youv'e even read a bit of the Eragon and its sequal, Eldest, then you will laugh if you see the movie they made for it. I admite, the books for it weren't that great when I compare them to some I've read now, but the movie made the book just seem legendary.
Lord of the Rings is probably the best book into a movie I've ever seen. The movies for it were just amazing and the books were even more amazing, if you have the patience to read it.
In truth, I really wish they'd stop trying to make books into movies. Sometimes it works but usually it doesnt.

Unless I go random book hunting or I feel unusually generous, I will NEVER get any book if they cover is just ugly. Unless its a recommendation or for a report, some books that have ugly covers, ugh. Lol, kinda funny and sucks for some authors I guess. I tend to get books with covers that look fancy and nice or myserious. If they have some nice looking art, Id probably get it. I never buy a book though before I read the little blurbs. First cover test, then the blurb. If it passes, its probably mine when I leave the bookstore.

I bought 3 books last time I went to m nearest bookstore. First, The Kite Runner, cause I got too many recomends for it. I read it way too quickly for such a good book. Then I got Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, just for the heck of it sort of. Had a report for it but decided to just buy it to add to my book stack. Then I got Shadowplay by Tad Williams, high fantasy sort of book and the second of his latest trilogy on it, I think. Still reading the last two of them. Woulda got more but my parents actually got worried I'm reading too much if u can believe it.
