Sorry guys I am a moron who forgot to post the polls. Here you go!

Ok guys this is how we're going to try things. Every 5 weeks we select three texts to read during that time. We post threads and when people have read a particular book they can post their thoughts in the corresponding thread. Im very wary of selecting texts to suit the inevitably varied...

Nah you've got it about right. I agree there are some hurdles, but if things don't work its not going to be the end of the world....we can try something else out! After doing more thinking Im thinking that system B would be the best, with an order in which to read the texts, that way at...

Hehe well all the more reason to get reading. I still have extension history to go on Wednesday so I really should be immersed in post-modernism and Mr Windschuttle, but theres always tomorrow!

Hmm yeah I spose you'd just have to stay out of the thread until you're done?

I reckon ay.....Ive really gotta get out of the habit of saying 'text'! SHAME ON ME!! AHHHHH! But yeah we'll have a thread for each book, we can put up a background to the author and book at the beginning and stuff and then post thoughts on it....

yep its got an English translation, my school library has it so it can't be too hard to find (although I can read french so it doesn't worry me what its in)

Thats another Jules Verne one

Ok, obviously with many and varied tastes in reading, there is going to be some diversion in what we want to read. I have posted up the list (mostly classics) in the 'Reading List' thread, there are about 25 books on the list. I say we stick to the classics because that way it is easier to...

Frigid this is just a preliminary list, which we can select texts off (we'll all decide together). I'll add that Jess

Ok guys, obviously the first thing we need to do is compile a list of texts we all want to read. Heres the ones I have already listed (plus ones that were suggested in the thread in the non-school thread). List the ones you would like to read and I'll add them to this list and then we can work...

First of all we must thank Laz for doing this, satisfying the whims of the minions if you like..... Ok, for anyone who didn't catch the thread in non-school, this forum was designed spcifically for BOS members (who have been deprived of their own reading by the BOS and their evil HSC text...

Yeah there were times when I considered studying different texts to what we were doing in class, but realised Id still have to do the in-class assessments on the texts the class was doing so I decided against it...

Yeah I could have written for about 20 years for the first question but knew I had to control myself. And for the creative question I just kept writing till it was time to finish...

Why did you start doing post-modernism?

Yeah it means they are seriously considering you but have afew good applicants.Think up some impressive reasons why you wanna work there, and dazzle them with your charm!

I believe THIS is the bored chat room! :D

Hey guys One thing I have soooo been looking forward is being able to go back to reading books for pure interest and enjoyment rather than the crappy texts set by the damn BOS. Ive noticed some people on this board have expressed similar ideas. So heres what I was thinking. Each week or so...
