I'm started Tim Winton's Dirt Music last night. The setting seems awesome, but I'm yet to get into the plot. At school in my extension class, we're reading Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles. Its not bad.

zZzz...

lol you mean Michael Ondatje? i don't like him (Ive read Anils Ghost and Engligh patient a few times)

he writes too much. I also feel that his whole broken-up-puzzle-piece style is trying too hard. I think that simplicity is a lot better.

My favourite books are

* The alchemist
* the book theif (IF YOU HAVENT READ IT READ IT)

but i love to read a variety of styles. i like books tha jump straight into it instead of grabbling on about whatever poetic notion they get carried away with.

The Outsiders. found it lying around the house and decided to read it :/

I've watched the movie and it's not as good as the book

Temple by Matthew Reilly.

Always a good author to fall back on when you're out of new stuff to read.

Just finished The Great Gatsby the other day for English.

Aside: I thought this passage was interesting "...I was standing beside his [Mr McKee's] bed and he was sittting up between the sheets, clad in his underwear, with a great portfolio in his hands."
Did Nick Carraway have some 'relations' with Mr McKee?
