If I coudn't get any nerdier... I'm into poetry. Lang Leav's couple of books are my favourites, and here's why:
1 - poetry makes me think
2 - it makes difficult issues easier to comprehend
3 - performance poetry is way more interesting to listen to on the tube than music
4 - there is so much variety
5 - poetry is also in music
6 - the books are always pretty
7 - you gain brownie points with your English teacher
8 - you end up rhyming your speech a lot
9 - quoting poems makes you seem super smart
10 - you can write it too
My favourite poets are Stevie Smith, Brenna Twohy and Lang Leav - give some of their work a read - I recommend Brenna Twohy's 'Another Rape Poem'.
Love, E X
