"Magic," he said

So it has come to my atention that teenagers don't really read books. This is an OUTRAGE. I love books (I would happily have ones baby) and I don't understand how you can't love them. My theory (and this is just a thepry) is that Computer games, TV and the internet have just made teenagers to lazy to use their IMAGINATION !!!!!

I mean it acctualy requires effort to read, so why would this lazy species called teenagers bother when they could just have all the work done for them by someone in a TV studio.

But reading is so much more personal, you can build on the description the author gives or even comprehend it in a different way to everyone else, you can make a book your own.

Now you may be wondering what the title of today's post has to do with reading, well its is the very last line in the first book of my favourite series, the ever amazing and the oh so odd Skulduggery Pleasent.

Skulduggery pleasent is a book series about a Skeleton Detective and his young apprentice Stephaine Edgley AKA Valkyrie Cain. There life in Dublin (my home city :D) is never easy and they have to fight Vampires (Warning: This is not another book just making money off of the twilight series' success, it was published only a few months after twilight before it became big) Giant spiders, a man who can sink into the ground, a crazy self proclaimed "master killer" who has never killed a person and Ancient gods to name a few.
So why should you read the books,
1. They are Irish
2. They're amazing
3. If you don't fall in love witht the characters there is something wrong with you 
4. They are the most witty books EVER written
5. I told you too >:(

So go read them or if  not them something because reading is marvelous, amazing, orgasmic, tantilsing, inteligent, cultured, interesting, entertaining, etc, etc, etc

 And if you don't bother to go read them I'll smash a plate over your head and set fire to your bed (Got to love florence and the machine ;P)
