Mystic River by Dennis Lehane.

Excellent book so far but a tad depressing. That's two in a row - I read Cold Mountain prior to this.

After HSC I wanna start reading all those Dan Brown novels I hear so much about...

I've read it. I liked it.

I'm reading Great Expectations, mainly because I've always neglected classical novels and feel that I should have this fantastic understanding of them now that I'm almost done high school etc.

Jane Austen - Emma

and

George Orwell - 1984
Wow... I love 1984, but Emma =\ don't like it. Can anyone highlight for me the essence in Austen's style, i.e. why you read her books, and does anyone think she's satirising her social context.

Currently reading - Maths textbook
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - The Hound Of The Baskervilles
Greatest Detective Stories (Short crime stories) - Collaboration of many authors aridged
