I just read "the handmaid's tale" by good ol' marge atwood. It was quite excellent. And I borrowed Animal Farm from the library but I gave up on the first page and started reading the first book of the elenium by Eddings.

Living History, Hillary Rodham Clinton's autobiography. It is quite interesting, you see that she is a very strong and talented individual, much much more than simply Bill Clinton's wife.

I finally went out and bought the da vinci code. There's so much hype surrounding this book, it better be as good as everyone says!

Lord Jim by Conrad (or Konrad... he's a shamster on the names anyway) - no one reads anything by HoD... so I figured I'd read more...

I recommend Secret Agent!!

'Night' by Elie Wiesel

Disturbing, but mostly a true account of Auschwitz and Buchenwald Concentration Camps, from the perspective of a 15 year old boy.

Night was a good book, but we studied it this year in English so i've done too many essays/extended text responses etc to want to read it again.
I'm reading first they killed my father - one of our texts for next year. It's okay but I'm not really getting into it just yet.
