[X-Calibre]

The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb. Really interesting I say.

 

[moll.]

Last Man - Shelley. Excellent prose and fantasticly in-depth descriptions of even the most mundane of objects, although this tends to make the storyline slow to kick off.

Love that book!

OMG. The secret history is possibly my favourite book

Lend me that book please?

I'm currently reading a few books:

Ring, Koji Suzuki
Hamlet...
Absurdistan, Gary Shteyngart

Necrophenia, Robert Rankin

Just finished reading "3 Books of Blood" by M C Sumner - not the best, but I've read worse vampire stories...

Now (re)reading the "Fear Street Saga" - R L Stine - got me into horror when I was about 9. There's still a couple of scenes in it that creep me out slightly.

 

[Absolutezero]

Six Characters in Search of an Author - Luigi Pirandello

Annoyed I missed it at the Sydney Festival, though all I've heard was bad reviews about the staging of it (not the text itself).

On the jellicoe road, melina marchette
for the 10000th time

 

[Cinnamonster]

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams.
Favourite book in the Hitchhiker's series. Hilarious.
Sometimes I can't help laughing out loud when I'm reading it on the train to uni/going home. This often results in weird looks from people sitting next to me.

Absurdistan, Gary Shteyngart

I have read an Absurdistan, but it was by ABC foreign correspondent Eric Campbell. There are two?

I am reading Matthew Flinders' cat currentz.

Pretty sure we all read books by ourselves at this age, buddy. But congrats if you just learnt to do so.

 

[klaris]

Lol, I was thinking the same thing...

I'm not reading anything, actually. Want a suggestion.

 

[yoddle]

Suggestion for klaris: the secret history by donna tart. It's out as a Pengi classic these days, so cheap.

 

[dombro]

Reading Stormwarden by Janny Wurts - first book in the Cycle of Fire Trilogy - nowhere near the Empire Series she wrote with Feist, but not bad.

 

[sydchick]

want to read some feminist literature. i know a girl who lives by it. sounds interesting eh.

 

[Taketheatrain]

I am in love. With a book. The Secret History. I bought it because I'm a tight-ass and it was an attractive and very fat Penguin Classic. IT IS SO GOOD.

I want to go to an exclusive college in Vermont and murder a friend. It seems so stylish.

Man, I was wondering if this was any good. Thanks!

Letters from a War Zone by Andrea Dworkin is a good radical feminist text appaz. Lots of porn, glad wrap, scissors.

Man, I was wondering if this was any good. Thanks!

Don't mention it. Even with the hindsight of a month i can't recommend it highly enough.
Penguin classics have been slashed down to $6.99 in my post office!!! I'm going to raid it soon, over 24hrs of flying/waiting in airports coming up with no in flight entertainment!
