I was always a more "aww ill watch the movie" type of person, but ive decided to give reading a try because i often find myself with nothing to do!. However i'd need a book that would keep me intrested the whole way through!. Now i dont have a problem with it being realy long or rather short but the only thing i don't realy want is a romance novel, because i just know without needing to read it that it won't keep me intrested the whole way through!.!.!. Thanks in advance!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
