George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty Four,

This is the second time I've read this and it has to be one of the most frightening descriptions of leadership gone wrong that I've ever encountered. This time im reading it for Eng Ext 2 major work, with the help of an anudio book.... oh so helpful and fast!

alain de botton is really good! read 'consolations of philosophy' - that's heaps funny and insightful and strangely comforting.

I'm reading a collection of agatha christie short stories atm :)

Heh, same. I couldn't remember what happened in it so figured I'd better read it before the new one comes out.

I finished reading Deathly Hallows on Monday. I bled my eyes out doing so because of several reasons:

- I started uni on Tuesday and didn't want people blaring out spoilers
- My brother wanted to read the book as well
- My brother started school that day so I needed to finish it before he came home just in case someone had blared spoilers to him and being the little brat he is he would've told me and ruined it all

None of which eventuated, and I regret reading so fast. But I'm proud of myself for just reading the book from cover to cover and resisting the temptation (countless times) of just flipping to the end. Chances are, I probably wouldn't have understood the ending anyway because the epilogue doesn't give away who the major deaths were.
