Gosh peoples...that's so pointless! FYI, Austen and the Bronte sisters are classics, and the reason why you're FORCED to read them is because we live in a day and age when our literary knowledge is impeded by rediculous and infantile forms of technology that do not allow for ANY imagination.

Austen presents values that we still hold dear today.

And so what? It's a romance!

Damn, if Fitzwilliam Darcy walked up to me and asked me to marry HIM, I wouldn't even be THINKING about the whole "fictional character" thing.

Your HSC will benefit if you just admit to yourself that what you're reading is a piece of quality and part of history.

Enjoyys!!!

cloudstreet by tim winton.
omg even thinking about it is painful.
Soooooooooooo true. Winton is creative at times but some of the imagery is just plain weird (and at times disturbing). To make matters worse, our English teacher went through pages 1-75 then skipped to the last few chapters in the book and left it at that... 0_o

I'm a really good reader, and yeah, I had the same issue. Loved the movies, but the 1st book (mind you, I tried reading it when I was 10) was like, -HUH, majorly.
:eek:

the Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole....


honestly if you'd read it, you would definitely agree, while it was groundbreaking at the time... its just bad.

^ Agreed. Even though I do PDHPE for the sake of doing it, the textbooks enough to make you want to throw it out the window (even I find them annoying) :lol:

But..boring book. The dictionary? if I had to read the dictionary that is. And..the books by Ann.M.Martin (Babysitters club. God those books keep repeating themselves) I can't believe I actually read them in primary school and I still have a huge collection of those books sitting on my bookshelf collecting dust :D

The Bible? I mean, I know it's a collaboration so...if I had to choose one...probably Genesis...

It produced some annoying bitches;

"OMGZORS I LOOOVVVEEE Robert Pattinson,

THUS I LOVE TWILIGHT!"
oh my god tell me about it!
i was in the newsagents trying to browse magazines the other day and these three obese girls stood in front of the rack in a line for like ten minutes fucking swooning of the twats in twilight and i was like fuck off you are a freak. and this girl i know has her entire myspace dedicated to twilight and all the photos are just of her with mascara dripping down her mouth and dressed entirely in black and just pictures of the books and characters and in her about me its like 'i kinda like twilight' - no shit.

Twilight mania, ugh

I haven't read the books but if they're anything like the lame movie I had to sit through they will be terrible.

Edward is not that amazing he's just a moody freak with bad hair
