Do you speed read? You sure do seem to go through a lot of books for someone who is doing their HSC.

While Year 12 was a time of copious reading, I'm actually in university. Rather than speed reading, I instead make much time in which to read. Its a passion. Besides, Year 12 wasn't so busy as to preclude literary binging. ;)

Speaking of which, in preperation for 2nd Semester, re-read;

George Orwell-Nineteen Eighty-Four

and have almost finished my HSTY 1043 readings. (One week's tutorial reading remaining. :))

Just finished reading "Wild Cat Falling" by Mudrooroo.

Gregor - do you read all your tute readings the semester in advance? My gosh, wish I could do that!! I barely manage the time to do weekly readings the week I need to do it in.

I try to, when possible. Makes it much easier being able to read relevant readings twice. :)

Oscar Wilde-The Soul of Man Under Socialism.
(And currently up to the 'Aesthetics' section of my Philosophy reader.)

Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code.

A little late, I know. It's not a bad read, despite the inaccuracies, and the way annoying people think it's some factual legend when it is total and undeniable fiction - makes excellent reading though. :)
