I'm nearly finished reading Albert Camus' The Outsider- will probably want to talk about it when I'm done. it's pretty good and throws up so many things to talk about!!

I'm reading "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" because my Librarian recommended it to me. I like it.

I"m reading "Trickster's Queen" by Tamora Pierce and read "Trickster's Choice" by Tamora Pierce before that.
Even though these book are in the children's section of the library they are REALLY good! Does anyone else read Tamora Pierce or do i just suck? :s

I'm reading Molvania - A Land Untouched By Modern Dentistry.
GREAT, EXCELLENT book :D
I giggle every time I read the language section: http://www.molvania.com.au/molvania/useful.html
-----------
Remember, too, that the syntactical structure of written Molvanian can be rather complex, with writers routinely using the triple negative. Hence,

'Can I drink the water? '

becomes 'Erkjo ne szlepp statsik ne var ne vladrobzko ne '
(literally, ‘is it not that the water is not not undrinkable?’)
----------------

After I'm done with that I have Smithereens by Shaun Micallef.

Just finsihed the Hitchhikers gudie to the Galaxy the triolgy of four. (Hitchikers Guide to the galaxy, the restaurant at the end of the universe, life the universe and eveything, so long and thanks for all the fish - in one big book). Have to get my hands on Mostly Harmless.

Marvin is the best character!!!!

Now I'm going to hunt down a copy of the Da Vinci Code and hope it's nothing like Matthew Reilly (which I unfortunatelyt heard) because his writing was pathetic, poor, and I better stop here because I could go on for hours. I hate him even more than Stephen king and any shit book I read for English (and they're were a few).

Yeah, I started to compile a list while I was "studying" (have to use that term loosely) of what to read after the HSC. Have already knocked over Brave New World and am wishing my local library had the rest of the books I want in it (which it obviously doesn't).

You read Brave New World of your own accord? Did you like it? I really didn't - but then how can you enjoy a book when you have to analyse every single page...stupid Module A.

I'm reading the Da Vinci Code, it's really good - very suspenseful. Afterwards i want to start reading Eddings again.
