I would probably advise against reading books, they can lead to open mindness syndrome

Isn’t that the best kind of syndrome?

Have you seen Goosebumps on tv?

and the intro was with the guy walking with the briefcase while the “Goosebump” letters were haunting the town and turning everything that crossed it’s path evil

I was a little old by the time they came along so didn’t watch them avidly as I did read the books but I saw them enough to know they didn’t compare.

Ohh I got about 4/5 copies of Of mice and men cos we did it at GCSE and i just kept em lol

I think I might have a copy of that in the attic too

I have a theory on school, I recon they force you to read all that Shakespeare crap just so when they give you a good book like Of Mice & Men you really appreciate it

My collection is recycled as I donate stuff I’ve read and acquire more (second hand usually).

Current read is this, very useful info if you want to design things and need to know production techniques that can mass produce them;-

We’ve got the book on poo in our toilet, so when you poop you can identify it in the book and read up about it.

I’ve got one called Arsetrology that takes that one step further and teaches you how to predict your future through your bowel movements.

Pretty much. Tbf the modern classics like Harry Potter and Lord of The Rings series did a good job.

The absolute worst for me though is the Bourne series. The books kicked ass. After reading the books first the films were seriously lame and lacking a lot of detail.

Try some American literature, comic books ( sorry I mean ‘Graphic novels’ ) have a big following among the illiterate ; )
