I read My Place when i was 13 or so, not as set analyatical reading, perhaps that's why i didn't hate it as much. Dingo, on the other hand... there were so many complaints about that text, that we were told not to even bother returning the books, lol!! :rofl:

haha! lord, i cant imagin it being THAT bad!PLURFECT! said:
how come so many ppl read MP when they were 13? is it some sort of childs recomendation thing? cos you are the 5th person i know at least whos read it at that age.
Hehe, I read it at 13, because my Mother [who was a social worker at the time] thought it would be beneficial for me to be able to relate to aboriginality in it's academic aspects as well as the social. We often had kids staying with us of lots of different backgrounds, which was always awesome - i loved getting to know different people and learning to open my mind to what i wouldn't normaly see or understand.Mongke said:haha! lord, i cant imagin it being THAT bad!

Read it when you're older. It's a fantastic book.Mr Lovepony said:
Also, My Place is dreadful. A whining, Aboriginal woman moaning on about oppression and unfairness isn't my idea of a good read.

'Red Heart' by Victor Kelleher!!!!
We had to read in in Yr11 as it is an appropriation of 'Heart of Darkness' by Joseph Conrad (another annoying book).
Lets just say I celebrated when that topic was over

Yeah, there were lots of twists and turns here and there. But I liked the story, one of the few books that I could visualise as a movie. if that makes senseM-turkey said:
The books I hate the most are the ones that are too slow and tedious. I like novels that are fast paced, with action, drama, and some crime/mystery thrown in. I could not stand 'Pride & Prejudice', I cannot comprehend how so many girls love this book... It's SO boring.
