Just finished The Road by Cormac McCarthy.

Really, really good.

It's one of those books you can really only read once because then you know what happens so you're not so into it on subsequent readings...suspense is gone.

However I will read it again just for the awesome writing. Thumbs up.

just finished reading;
Eclipse, New Moon and Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer (the ones after Twilight)
They were all pretty good, interest plots even though they were sorta based on some classics (which they named in the books) they didn't demand the same reactions, but I would read new moon over wuthering heights any day (Had it for a lit book in year 12 and still couldn't read it)

People talk shit about Meyer's writing etc but there is no way she alludes to wanting to be compared to the classics, its a fantasy pulp fiction that is very well executed, so well that I almost literally could not put them down (read all 3 in the space of 4 days)

Recomended

On Liberty

John Stuart Mill

"The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good, in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it."

Can it be put any better? I think not.
