Have you read Anthony Beevor's "Stalingrad" ? excellent book, a bit heavy going, but it slowly draws you in |

You missed out everyday 
I have to read before I can go to sleep
I like Stephen King, James Herbert, Dean Koontz and to make a real odd mixture...Virginia Andrews |

| Its annoying, but I never seem to find time to read (despite enjoying it). Doing English AS/A2 means I have to do some reading, but practically none is just for the fun of it |

| Well, you are gonna be surprised, but even though I go to the University and party like crazy, I always find time to read one book per 2 days, sometimes one book a day. I'm in the middle of a huge sci-fi serie (Perry Rhodan, you guys know about that?) and I'm so hooked up it's almost a crime. I skip on my studies and my sleep to read those books. Man, I sometimes scare myself. |
