I've met Melvin Burgess quite a few times! When he won the Carnegie Children's Prize with Junk my mum did the press for him-so we got to know him quite well, he's a ledge.

Haha, Blinded By The light - Sherry Ashworth is another good Push book. Have you read Cut?

Yeah, she's nice isn't she? I met J.K Rowling too! She was proper wicked. But umm yeah, i used to ADORE Jaqueline Wilson but now i find her really patronising and like she's trying to write like a teenager but fails. I did adore her books though when i was the right age.

-(only if you're about my age-14-and are a girl, would you want to read this book) Princess Diaries. The whole series.

For myself right now I'm reading The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe and Moon Shot by Alan Shepard and Deke Slayton (going through a BIG space phase)

These are for school
Oedipus the King by Sophocles
Antigone by Sophocles <--- read that freshman year, but I like rereading things
Medea by Euripides
Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller
A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams
Oedipus at Colonus by Sophocles
Orestia Trilogy by Aeschylus
Looks like I'll be going Greek!
