Most people here seem to be heavily into the classics. While I've read a lot of Charles Dickens, Emily Bronte, Shakespeare, George Eliot, Harper Lee (well I've read her only book, but lots of times) and the like, nowadays I'd more readily pick up a Don Delillo than anything else. He's the author that makes me think 'Nah, people can't really right like that, no-one is that clever.'

Having said that, the best two speeches in fiction that I've read are Atticus' speech at Tom Robinson's trial, and (of course) - 'Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears' - Antony's speech in Caesar.

For light reading I like Tom Holt and Christopher Brookmyre. I have a few Terry Pratchet books (courtesy of an Aunt that's been sending them to me since year 4), which is great for reading when you don't feel like thinking haha.

As for poetry, Dover Beach by Matthew Arnold.

Deficit: 583

I have the opposite problem, for a few days before my period and during it I have to force myself to eat and half the time I throw it up again anyway, NOT intentionally by the way, just because of the pain of the cramps. Pretty much all I can stomach for about a week is soup.

Luckily I only have to go through it once every 4 months (under doctor's instructions) - otherwise I'm bedridden for 3 or 4 days every month.

Spacedreamer, how did you measure your BF%?

Our stats are really similiar but our BF%'s are way different, I think mine is wrong!
