Just finsihed reading the Idiot actually i loved the relationship that builds between Mishkin & Agley (s/p), which he rejects for that other girl (you know the one that he saves). Thats all i really liked about. [I decided to read cause my English teacher last year suggesed to our class to read it. Personally i felt that it dragged on. IMO. ]
I liked Aglaia at first but she seemed kind of flat at the end. It was a pretty sad ending, lol...

Anyway, now that I finished that book I'm reading Neuromancer, by William Gibson (about time, right? I've been meaning to read this for a while).

i've only just started but so far it seems the show has stayed pretty true to the book. both are equally addictive.

I'm just about to start 'Winter', by John Marsden ... I finished his 'Letters from the Inside' novel today and I think I'll read all my English notes after that, seeing as I have exams on Monday and Tuesday :)

I cannot find that book anywhere. I've been looking at my local library branches as well as at bookshops.

are you enjoying it? i struggled to get through it.
About 30 pages through at current, but no I'm not struggling to get through it. Try reading The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man or Ulysses by James Joyce if you think Amis is hard, lol.

Try the school library, that's where I found a copy (it's sitting on my desk waiting to be read).

At the moment I'm chewing through a short story collection by Isaac Asimov, mainly in search of an EX1 additional. :p
