Music is a necessity i think cos alot of imagination wouldnt be here today if music wasnt involved while ideas were being thought up
And no i didnt see the big read cos...i dunno actually

I think music is somewhat of a necessity [img]smile.gif[/img] Aside from just music on its own, I was trying to imagine some of my favourite films without the soundtracks and I realized the music was such an integral part of it all...
I watched some of the Big Read...I love to read. I didn't watch the end, I went to bed lol*
But some of my favourite books are (as you know) The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice...Dracula is also a classic in my mind. I do actually love Jacqueline Wilson's books, I began reading them when I was younger and I still like them even though I think the target age is a little younger than me. [img]smile.gif[/img] I love Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel...also The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving, and I adore Stephen King and most horror/fantasy books. I like Catcher in the Rye...some of the classics I like are Treasure Island, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer...
I love anything by Maurice Sendak *lol* Some of my favourite more recent books are Buffy novelizations and novels. I have way too many favourite books!! If I had to pick from The Vampire Chronicles I would probably pick Interview With The Vampire, The Vampire Lestat and Tale of the Body Thief.
I read too much...lol* I read quite a bit of poetry as well, or I used to...

For me music is definitely a necessity. I couldn't imagine a world without music, I think I would stop breathing, I certainly wouldn't want to live. Sounds melodramatic eh. I've loved music for as long as I can remember. My mum used to sing a lot, mostly the old songs and that is what I grew up with. From a very early age I listened to the radio and fell in love with music from that time. It is a love that has endured over the decades.
Great books. Ah, now what makes a great book? What is a great book to one person may not be to another. I love books of all kinds, depends what mood I'm in. I have to have a book on the go though. Atm I am reading Catcher in the Rye, never read it before but what a great read. I've read LOTR several times and will do so again I know, also other Tolkein. I love stephen King and Dean Koontz books but I also love books by Ruth Hamilton. I love the classics, used to love the Thomas hardy books, also love The Secret Garden.
There are so many. I could spend days looking round bookshops [img]smile.gif[/img]

For me I regard music as a necessity rather than a luxury. I couldn't imagine my life without it.
I didn't see that programme yesterday.

For me it's a necessity or perhaps even an addiction. I can't even drive down the street to collect the mail without putting the cd player on in the car! Music is my favourite company when I'm driving alone or anytime really [img]smile.gif[/img]
I do also read a lot too.

Music is definately a necessity to me and I honestly think that the world would be a poorer place without it. [img]smile.gif[/img]
As for books, my fave authors are Wilbur Smith and Stephen King, with my ultimate fave book being 'The Stand' by Mr King. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
I've read 'The Stand' and it was very good [img]smile.gif[/img]
I've also read a lot of Anne Rice's work [img]smile.gif[/img]

As for books I don't have any favorites, the last new I read was The Crush by Sandra Brown, and I'm looking forward to her new one Hello, Darkness. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] I don't read scary books or sci fi and/or fantasy but I did read one Steven King book. I forgot the title but it's the one where the woman is left handcuffed to the bed after her husband has a heart attack.
