    My favourite poem is Mad Girl's Love Song by Sylvia Plath.

    "I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
    I lift my lids and all is born again.
    (I think I made you up inside my head.)

    The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
    And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
    I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

    I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
    And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
    (I think I made you up inside my head.)

    God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
    Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
    I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

    I fancied you'd return the way you said,
    But I grow old and I forget your name.
    (I think I made you up inside my head.)

    I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
    At least when spring comes they roar back again.
    I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
    (I think I made you up inside my head.)"

    Is The Road the book that the film is based on? Or something different?

    I need more Neil Gaiman =(

    That's actually a really tricky one. I normally read books about horrible people.

    Maybe Shadow from American Gods? He seemed kinda nice.

    Drew, I picked up Tommy Lee's book in a shop once and flicked through - it was mainly him hiding in his cupboard because his room won't stop moving and crawling around his garden with a gun because he thinks Mexicans are trying to steal his potatoes. I decided it was an amusing glance but not worth paying a tenner for. These rock stars *sigh*

    I'm reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman and love it. I'm finding it hard to read at the moment as I normally like to do it on the train or whatever and I'm not travelling, I'm just sat around in my room, but I'm getting a bit done here and there. I love Neil Gaiman so much, I approve of his union with Amanda Palmer!

    I need to read some books for uni though =(

    Sorry I wasn't having a go, I'm just quite Batman obsessed =P and really interested in Women In Refrigerators Syndrome, so have done a lot of research into Barbara Gordon.

    Nah I haven't read that one! I want to read Hush next, I think. Problem is there are so many and I have no money!

    Well, it IS why Barbara Gordon's in a wheelchair, there isn't any other reason...Killing Joke fits in between two issues of Batman, one of which has Barbara up and about and the other has her in a wheelchair. I always refuse to accept any birth of the Joker as canon though.

    The Arkham Asylum comic, Lovers and Madmen and Year One are also AMAZING, and I have Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader? heading my way

    I've been really enjoying Chuck Palahniuk recently, but you have to like slightly more disturbing but intellectually stimulating stuff. Invisible Monsters and Survivor are my favourites to recommend, then probably Fight Club, then Haunted, then Lullaby, then Choke. Neil Gaiman is great if you want a more gentle style, but amazingly well written - his early teen book The Graveyard Book is NOT just for kids, it's a really good read.

    Oh yeah, I thought learning German was hard, but in Germany they start learning English at the age of seven just to be able to vaguely understand in at 15!

    I'd rather read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. The Charlaine Harris book series isn't very good (in my humble opinion)

    Just read Coraline by Neil Gaiman today, it was good but terrifying! And now I'm gonna start reading Stardust =)
