great gatsby is excellent

and chuck palahniuk is a bit of a hack
though survivor was excellent, i think he's a damned formulaic writer
his style gets more dull each novel and there seems to be no sign of sylistic improvement
this is my first palahniuk book, i've heard some people say he is a genius and others say they hate him, so i plan to read a couple of his books over summer and make up my own mind.

reading Everything Is Illuminated by Johnathan Safran Foer

the book is amazing so far, and i'm guessing the movie adaptation is a piece of rancid shit. i can't believe they've made one.

Recently finished Picnic at Hanging Rock, am digging my way through The Tempest (for English :rolleyes: ), and I LOVE the Obernewtyn series! I read them in the 2004/2005 summer holidays... I want the next book to come out NOW!
