Yesh yesh, very good. David and Leigh Eddings live up to their reputation. All the references at the start are abit annoying, im like wth are they talking about?????? but once you get into it, tis very engaging. Good uses of humor aswell (youll know what i mean when you read it)

I'm reading Secret Histories: Finding George Orwell in a Burmese Teashop.

I found it at a second-hand bookshop and it is a pretty interesting book. It's non-fiction and explains how Orwell based much of Nineteen Eighty-Four on the years he spent in Burma. The more I read, the more the similarity between 21st century Burma and Nineteen Eighty-Four blows my mind.
I also recommend it, if you can find a copy.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Most favourite book from her. Anybody read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith yet? I bought it, but haven't read it yet, but telling from the first chapter I read, it's pretty funny. Any reviews?

Death of a Salesman (Arthur Miller) and a translation of Oedipus the King (Sophocles)

Both for uni - programming a unit of work on tragedy. I am surprised at how much I am enjoying the latter...ancient/classical plays have not usually been my thing but it's pretty good (I have what looks like a pretty modern translation though).

Jane Eyre - Charlotete Bronte. Perhaps one of the best romance novels I have ever read. Ill recommend it to anybody.

 

[Tulipa]

"A Room of One's Own" and "To The Lighthouse" by Virginia Woolf.

Weird to read her critical essays alongside her fiction but still, both are good.

Rehashing the Lovecraft addiction I developed in Year 11 Extension 1, specifically Colour out of Space and Rats in the Walls.

On a longer, true novel level: Neil Gaiman's American Gods. Basically Part 2 of every myth you have EVER heard of, drawing interesting parallels with contemporary society. Highly recommend it.

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. It's pretty static, really.
