Gah. Stupid summer; I've read nearly everything.

imsopostmodern: have any suggestions?

I realise I go crazy if I don't read for at least an hour each day. Sounds like I have no life but my bus ride is an hour each way, so yeah.

And I am now moping around the house. I NEED something to read otherwise I will resort to Twlight (UGH)

Just finished 'The Book of Laughter and Forgetting' by Milan Kundera.

Amazing book, everyone should read it.

sounds fun! (no sarcasm)

currently reading After Bali by Jason McCartney
You see unlike some of these hypocrites I read a real book based on real things and not some garbage fiction like Twilight about non-existent features conceived by the twisted imagination of sycophants like Stephenie Meyer.

I've read The Turning. I liked it quite a bit.

It was recommended by my English teacher. Tim Winton is very good. I really liked the short story, 'the turning' although it was very emotionally draining and took me about an hour to read it.

Anything else?

Rene Descartes - Discourse on the Methods, & the Meditations.

It jumps around a bit. Philosophy, then theology, then anatomy...

Australian Tragic by Jack Marx and rereading Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest. will read pride and prejudice and zombies very soon.


i love the aussie tragaic, so many tragic real forgotten stories. Marx really knows how to lead you on.some of these things are so dark you could not believe it was non fiction.

'What is History?' by E.H Carr. I find it hilarious..all his subtle (or sometimes not so subtle) digs at people etc. Probably not the reaction I'm supposed to be having.

Also reading 'The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England' by Ian Mortimer. It reads much like a travel guidebook..a very different way of presenting history.

I just finished Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' (thought I may as well get a head start). I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed it, couldn't put it down.

About to start reading Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer. I'm actually a bit excited.
