We teens tend to use the word sex as a verb. After a date or hooking up at a party, friends are likely to ask: ''Did you sex him?''

I've read As I Lay Dying by Faulkner and your teacher is not alone in his confusion. It took me two reads IIRC to internalise his writing style as his 'stream of consciousness' style confused me

oh, if u read it twice, im assuming you were really into it? im up for a challenge :}

[DisaFear]

Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan is my favourite. Last book coming out this year sometime, I hear

Well, it was actually one an a half. If I can't finish it the first time, I try again another time. I did that with Kerouac's On the Road as well, though I can say for certain I can't stand his writing.

Fantastic author. Have you read Veronika Decides to Die?

How the fuck did you get through it? I gave up in book 4. It was just so slow. Too much braid tugging and not enough THINGS HAPPENING

Here's what you missed

THE HUNGER GAMES TRILOGY 

I SECOND THIS! 

[DisaFear]

Just finished reading two books

Scarecrow: Army of Thieves was a decent read for anything into Matthew Reilly thrillers. It doesn't compare to the original Scarecrow, but after you get through the first half of the  book, it gets really tense, epic even. Lots of room left to continue, great book. If Scarecrow was a 9/10, this would be an 8.5/10

Scorpia Rising, continuing and concluding (I think) the Alex Rider series, this book was much better than I expected it to be. The previous two books were sort of dull (imo) but this book was fantastic.

Definitely recommend both books to anyone who has a slight fancy for thrillers (and the book series' in general)

Hopefully, I can get my hands on Inheritance sometime soon
