Somethin' special....
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 (starting after the HSC exams have all finished of course) we start a new novel that we all agree on and after an agreed time we discuss what we thought about it etc. Im sure we'd be able to get our own forum set up for this purpose.
I really want to be well-read for uni and am very interested as such in reading the classics (some listed below). But off course if there was something new that people wanted to read, we could do that to.
I find it good to have someone to talk to after I have finished reading a novel, and I thought since a lot of you appear to be readers....why not?
Heres the novels I really wanna read, and Im sure you all have ones to add:
