Hmm I wonder why nobody loves motivational books lol.. Being a freaking nerd my all time favourite is Anthony robbins 'Awaken the Giant Within' I will say it is a must-have-book for any human being. Why wait lazy bums, grab the book next time you pass by a store. I guarantee it is worth your investment.

Cheers, Stay cool :headbang:

Books:
1) Is a tie between two Melina Marchetta books- Saving Francesca and On The Jellicoe Road
2) Scar Tissue- Anthony Kiedis
3) Misery- Stephen King

Genres:
1) I have a thing for biographies and autobiographies. For example, My Place by Sally Morgan, My Booky Wook by Russell Brand, and the aforementioned Scar Tissue
2) I'm totally a sucker for RPS fanfiction. Not sure if it counts as a book, or even literature, but still.
3) self-indulgent tales of woe that suck you in. An emotional experience in a book is key.

Series:
1) The Tomorrow Series- John Marsden
2) Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants
3) Harry Potter. Lol, I'm still a nine-year-old at heart.
