    >.> I still have that mindset of a kid so I would say Series Of Unfortunate Events. But I kinda read it because their lives make me feel not as bad as mine.

    The Spook's Apprentice is like the only book I've read so it's probably that.

    I tried to read that one once when I was really young, but it required too much switching to the back of the book to really understand and I gave up -.-'

    Read anything by Richard Dawkins?

    I don't understand the Italian language. I've read some English translations. The first one was a kinda funky English but I got most of it. You have no idea how pumped I was when they released a video game based on this book. Then they made Dante a Crusader and it was endlessly inaccurate. Fun though.

    I haven't read anything by Richard Dawkins. Amazing, eh? xD There's many books I should read but have yet to. I fear I may die before I've read all the books I want!

    Isn't that what we all fear? I'd hate to never get around to so many of the books I wish to read.

    I've read 'The God Delusion' by Dawkins and it's one of my favorite non-fiction works.

    Oh god, the first three were awesome. The last... was disappointing. No kiss with Arya and Eragon? :frowning2: :frowning2: :frowning2:

    But for me, even though it might be a little bit young for my age, is the Cherub series.
