Book that'll make you laugh: Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. Seriously, you'll probably be bawling with laughter while reading it.

Yes! Matthew Reily is awesome. I think that they should make it part of the school reading curriculum because it would get more kids (mostly boys) into reading. That’s how I got my little brother to read.

Asimovs Robot series was great.

And I love Vonnegut. Breakfast of Champions is hillarious! Slaughter House 5, Mother Night, and Welcome to the Monkey House are all great too. Monkey house is also pretty funny.

"Ender's Saga" consisting of 6 novels and "Homecoming" consisting of...4 i think novels both by Orson Scott Card are by far my favourite books

There is nothing you can name that is more delicious and awesome than Subway.

Eragon
His Dark Materials trilogy: The Golden Compass
The Subtle Knife
The Amber Spy Glass
Bad thing about Eragon is that I've been waiting for the last three years for the second part of the trilogy

His Dark Materials is slow at the begining but picks up later. Don't mind the weird names or polar bear ice kingdom, just makes it better

Your jokes are unfunny and you're fat.

Satanic is the essence of fruit. Lick it, and it will lick you back.
