    I've read the book. :D

    It's a really good book, so I'd definitely recommend it. :) -So much symbolism and it's a really topical theme, even if the book was written such a long time ago. ;)

    Thanks Geni - I read a synopsis of it somewhere the other day, and it sounded like the plot is...I dunno...in-depth? Heavy-going? :lol: Well, I'll now add to my list of about a zillion other books I want to read :)

    Well it's definitely worth the read. :D

    I actually have no books on my list right now. *sigh* I need to start reading more. It's too bad I have no time to go to the library. I shall make time. :p

    OOOOOH. THAT BOOK IS SO WEIRD! IVe read it...just a shame he's french or I might have enjoyed it more. :p And later in the book, it becomes really weird! Has a kind of Jack-the-Ripper feel at the end of the book

    Perfume: The Story of a Murderer is a 1985 literary historical horror novel (originally published in German as Das Parfum) by German writer Patrick Süskind.

    It's a great book,weird but great.

    They just made a film based on it.

    Okay, this is probably the most random book I decided to buy. :lol: I was watching a CSI episode 'Turn Of The Screw' and after Grissom mentioned the book, I decided to buy it. :lol: It was going cheap on the Internet and I thought what the hell? Why not. Has anyone else read the book 'The Turn Of The Screw by Henry James?

    Lol Tink! You're a fanatic! Hahaha!

    I'm currently reading a book by David Dun called 'The Black Silent'. Ohh....kind of leaves you hanging if you stop reading. Gotta get back to reading! *runs off*
