Anyone ever read any of this guys books?
Markus is an Australian author, and has written books like The Book Thief (not read personally, meant to be awesome) and The Messenger(supremely brilliant and fantastic).
If you have never read any of his books; then go to the library NOW!
If you have read the books, then talk about them here sil vous plait.

Was that the same one you showed us in your video? You picked it up off your bed, and said "this is a book lent by a friend; it's a very good book..."

Uh...

No, that was Temeraire by Naomi Novik Razz
Also a good book, but besides the point.

The Messenger is an awesome book that is sort of mystery/comedy/awesomeness Very Happy
