Depends what you like,most of the stuff I read is quite girly.

Peter Kay's book is quite good if you ain't read that.

Ah, I'm sorry but you've lost me there because alas, I'm no longer a teenager. But I did love the Diary of Adrian Mole when I was younger.

Harry Potter, Twilight ( I dont like those though), Derren Brwons book is very good, as is Peter Kays and Alan Carrs, or anything by Dan Brown

Harry Potter collection and The Curious Case of the Dog in the Night Time are the only books I've ever read and enjoyed.

One of the actors in that film have the exact same name as me.

It's sort of creepy tbh, and sort of creepy how you just mentioned it

Why is everyone saying Twilight and the Harry Potter books? If he wanted to read them surely he would have said.

Anyway I think that The Boy In the Striped Pyjamas is quite a good read, along with The Reader.

You don't it's pretty irrevant to anything, and I have no idea how it influenced the guy to kill Lennon, the book imo is boring as sin.


The Da Vinci Code/Angels and Demons/The Lost Symbol are good reads Braden

Can't believe you've only gotten into Harry Potter now I used to have to read them at school at one point.

Twilight saga is good but I'd only reccomend if your happy reading books with love being the main theme because it's basically one big love story.
