I'm reading a few things:

• Because of Extension 2, my teacher recommended this book of short stories, Twisted by Jeffery Deaver. I've got to say, it's fantastic. Each is a twist of an ending.
• The Night Watch by Russian author Sergei Lukyaneko. The movie is a bit different, but you'd get the jist.
• Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte I've begun to read again because apparently we have to read it for Extension 1 anyway.
• The Crucible by Arthur Miller for a bit of inspiration for my short story.

And of course I'm picking at Hamlet because we're reading that in class. Some of these things I haven't looked at in a while, but I have an intention on reading them in the duration of the holidays and when I can.

... I sure do ramble. <.<

 

[chamelia]

You sure do talk a lot of wank.

 

[annabackwards]

Oh i'm re-reading the Dirk Gently series by Douglas Adams now just for fun

Apparantly the english translation is really bad in this series... certain things don't really make proper sense.

crime and punishment by fyodor dostoevsky

really thick and requires a hell of a lot of concentration

god, my brain hurts

 

[^CoSMic DoRiS^^]

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, Mark Haddon

Started last night and finished it an hour ago. Very easy read (hence finishing it so quick), but really good despite (or because of?) this. I cried at one point. I never do that. But it was sad (in parts, quite funny in others though)

Now I can get back to the other 3 books I'm currently trying to read - Nation and Good Omens, both by my beloved Mr. Pratchett and The Catcher in the Rye which I have already read several times so I think I'll leave it for now.

Odd, I found Crime and Punishment a book I couldn't put down. I'm about 10 pages into his Notes from the Underground though, it's hard to pick up. XD

 

[alexmartinek]

i just cant find the motivation to look at the size - 2 print

I'm reading Pride and Prejudice for English.
So far I'm finding it rather boring, probably due to lack of understanding about whats actually going on.

 

[Melisoverschool]

about to start reading Frankenstein for english. Have already read Romulus, My Father for advanced and The Shipping News for extension. Can't wait to read some of the books i got for christmas. A bit of pleasure reading for a change!

The Elephant and the Dragon - Robyn Meredith

Technically still reading War & Peace, but i was getting bored of it, so i thought i might mix it up some and read the above. 'Tis only short anyway.
