Yeah, the odd time - helps to pass time until you fall asleep.
Reading a pretty interesting book: A Secret History of the I.R.A.
Some may think of it as a bad thing but it's part of my heritage...
Taking my time to read through it though.
It's been a long time since I've read an actual story book though..

That actually sounds an interesting read. Any good? If so, who is it by?

I though that the History if Manchester's gangs was intresting! I have no time for romance novels! I like reading up on other people's misery in the modern age, not some prince on the pull 200 years ago!

I actually really got into the first 4 of Potter, but somehow stopped at that.
Actually reading 6th book from The Wheel Of Time by Robert Jordan atm. A great read imo if your into all that magic and good v evil stuff.

Books... Love to read them but never seem to get the time anymore. I loved Junk that was a good read, about a couple of kids who ran away from home and ended up living on the street getting caught up in prostitution, gear etc. Cujo is another of my favourites.

Thanks for that, i'll hunt around on the net for it, the cover looks a little grim though but then thats what you get when you read up on teenage hookers!

I read the book on the Twin Towers!
It was based on the experience of one of the firefighters and it was pretty graphic like as if you were actually there at the time of the tradegy!
Havent read much in a while now i used to read magazines such as Take a break,Thats life but have gone of them now.

i use't to read all the time when i was little... i used to be MAD over goosebumps!!! evan got the bedsheats.... haha... i still use one of the pillow sheats as its got a skeleton on a skateboard haha ... i notised it only 2 years ago and i was like "BAD!!!!!!"
anyways... i used to read mostly mags back in early teens... but when i got the net that all changed... these days my life & carrear is based around the internet so i do enough reading on there... and besides... coming on happyhardcore.com reading all these topics is enough reading for one lol
i still get the odd mag every now and then like m8 mag and I'm always reading the papper...
anyone read "of mice and men" i watched the film first and it was amazing... and then in year 10 they gave us the book to study and i was like OMG!!!

i like books :D
big fan of anything disc-shaped :D (terry pratchet is cool)
mr tolkien
ive delved into some more scientific books too, like flatter land (cool book :D)
Lynny gave me a book to read called "Sybil" wich is about someone with 16 personalitys, its based on a real person too, it was a very interesting read so far.
ive read quite alot of varying books, and i like reading, though recently not as much as i used to :( i should read more again i think :D
also "the redmption of althalus" is a good book too :D and all of narnia (the books pwn the film)
