I love reading! It's a great way to escape from this world for a bit and absorb yourself in someone elses world. Readers have the best imaginations!

I think it improves your spelling as well and extends your vocabulary. I done real well at English in school because I always had my head buried in a book and found it eas to write essays and stuff (but I was shite at maths )
Books are always waaaaay better than films. I think Memoirs of a Geisha is an excellent book but I dont want to see the movie because I don't think it will be (and heard it isn't) anwhere near as good as the book.

My favourite book EVER is Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov - I would recommend that everyone read it at least once, its amazing - I've read it countless times and don't get bored of it.
Lord of the Flies is good as well.
