    I would guess by Saturday most of these posts will be "just started the last Harry Potter".

    One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest ----> Ken Kesey
    "The legacy of Surrealism after 1968 must surely follow artists, writers, thinkers and activists who are committed to the power of the unconscious and to the imagination of other possible worlds."

    I recently bought "Into the Wild". Eddie Vedder is working on music for the movie and I am a fan of Eddie Vedder.

    Angels Dance, Angels Die: The Tragic Romance of Pamela and Jim Morrison by Patricia Butler

    very interesting account of their relationship and how much Jim really loved her.

    From Strength To Strength - An Autobiography by Sara Henderson

    It's all about a woman who rebuilt the family property Bullo River in the Australian outback with her daughters. And she did such a good job of it she was named Australian Business Woman of The Year 1991.

    It's not bad.

    When I'm finished I'll have another go at The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, and try to finish The World from Islam by George Negus.

    What I really want to read is Silencing Dissent by Clive Hamilton and Sarah Maddison. And of course I'm busting to read the new Harry Potter. :)
    NOPE!!!

    Has anyone read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time? If so, is it worth reading?
    “Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’” - Kurt Vonnegut

    I read it. It's not bad. It is worth reading because it is a super easy read, so even if you don't like it, you'll get through it fast. I'd recommend it.

    Yeah it's not horrible by any means. I thought it would be better, but I still wouldn't steer anyone away from it. I actually recommended it to a friend who felt the same way about it I did, and my wife who hasn't read it yet.

    curious incident is a good read,

    to my rant partner in crime ;)

    and, i finished small island, very solid plot, well craftred characters and attention to historical detail. still something about the actual writing irks me...ah well.

    love for the kite runner is unrelenting, just finished his new one, a thousand splendid suns, its brilliant, quite hard to read in places because of the content but read it anyway!!!

    for the record, the next book i read wont be harry potter, i never got round to them,

    i might go for the grapes of wrath if i get a minute in between essays!!!

    "The Trial" by Kafka

    Kinda strange...
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
