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.

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.

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).

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.

School: Hamlet
Enjoyment: The Nightangel Trilogy second book (although heaps of people I know loved it, I'm currently thoroughly disappointed)

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

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.

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.

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!
