I enjoy sitting down to read a good book every now and again, but I'm not much for a reader :/

I love to read books! I try to read 1-2 books a week depending on how big the book is or if I'm super busy that week. Reading is always good for your brain and keeps it active!

I really love to read when I find the right book. I have a few favorite authors and a few favorite books. Some of the ones I can think of off the top of my head are:
William Gibson (Author of Neuromancer and the Sprawl trilogy). He is the quintessential scifi/cyberpunk author who coined the term "cyberspace". If you're looking for a good read about cyber cowboys or "hackers" with an 80s twist, I'd highly recommend all three of the books in the trilogy [Neuromancer, Count Zero, and Mona Lisa Overdrive]
Gibson also write the Bridge trilogy, which proceeds the Sprawl trilogy in the timeline of things. This trilogy includes Virtual Light, Idoru, and All Tomorrow's Parties.
I also enjoyed books like Don Quixote. Gargantuan and Pantagruel by François Rabelais. Waiting for Godot (although this is a play) written by Samuel Beckett. Macbeth by Shake-ah-speare. American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis. Wigfield: The Can-Do Town that Just Might by Stephen Colbert, Paul Dinello and Amy Sedaris.
Hmm, I'm sure there's more, I just can't think right now.

I love Cathy Glass she writes true stories about the children she has fosted The one I like most is Hdden
A powerful and shocking memoir of a young boy whose good behaviour and excellent manners hid a terrible past.
Tayo arrived with only the clothes on his back. Calm, polite, and very well spoken, Tayo was nothing like the children I normally fostered. Surprisingly, the social worker had no records for Tayo: no school files, family history, or medical records. It was as if Tayo didn’t exist. Tayo wouldn’t answer any of my questions about his past. Only when I saw a scar on his arm did he begin to tell me his dreadful story. It was unbelievable, but I had never met a child before (or since) with such loyalty, strength, and inner resolve.

If I have to read, I normally read ebooks on how to earn money online.
I do not normally read novels (unless it is for my university courses).
