Varying. The copy of Ice Station hadn't even been read, but the Roald Dahl is horribly dog-eared and old. There's quite a few op shops around Bathurst with good books for cheap, and a place in Lithgow called the Lithgow Bargain Mart that has a lot of older books for cheap, around 50c each (the...

Anybody else use this? I find it really useful for keeping my head on straight and getting things organised. Has it been a help to anyone else? http://www.theresearchden.com.au/night-before.html

Matthew Reilly - Ice Station Doctor Who; Crisis in Space (choose your own adventure book from the '80s) Threshold - Sara Douglass Darkness Comes - Dean Koontz Tales of the Unexpected - Roald Dahl All 50c from an op shop :D

Bought in the past few days: New - Everything's Eventual (1408 edition... pretty picture, in other words) - Stephen King. Manga Shakespeare - The Tempest (yeah, I know they're iffy, but it's drawn well and gives a good quick-revise) 2nd hand - Engines of God - Jack McDevitt 2 harcover...

Aka The Robertski Brothers, A.R.R.R Roberts, Don Brine, A3R Roberts. Anyone like this fellow? I haven't had a chance to read any of his serious novels, just his parodies, but I want to read some. Could anyone suggest a good one, please? Also, Adam Roberts > Michael Gerber.

Digital Fortress was the first one of Dan Browns skidmarks that I read. And I guess it's the reason I read Angels and Demons and the Da Vinci Code. Though I kept reading them just to see if I had guessed right and to see if they got any better. Also, I'd just moved, had no books and was working...

Appaling quality image, but i'm just too lazy to type everything up. Lots of them are hidden under other junk. I hope no one from my school sees this :rofl: Because it's hard to see, the highlights are: Stephen King - all except for Blaze, Duma Key, Everything's Eventual, and the books from...

/b/ invades boredofstudies? AWESOME As for remembering quotes... why not just memorise the poems entirely? It's not as if they're epic. And then you won't read the question and think "I knew I should have remembered that other quote, the ones I have don't answer this at all!" (from experience)...

I've been trying to learn how to solve them, but stupid exams interrupted. I have a Sudoku rubics cube. It's awesome. Even though it's easier than real Sudoku because you don't have to worry about getting the number in only one row/column. It's just the same as getting one square of colour on...

Erg... to use Plato's Republic, you'd have to look at more than book nine, too, because it's midway through the "imaginative journies" in the text. It'd be better used for Brave New World, which is what i'm using it for, even though my English teacher said Plato's Republic is pretty much the...

I'm cheap (and on limited, sparse income), so I go to op shops. There are some really brilliant ones around the Blue Mountains/Lithgow. For anyone who lives in Lithgow, the Lithgow Bargain Mart (big warehouse-looking thing across the train tracks from the main street... sort of near the blast...

Unfortunatley, I liked Yeats' The Second Coming before studying it in English. Critical study saps everything out of anything. Still my favourite though :D (from memory, so probably not exact) Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer Things fall apart; the...

Title: Good Omens (The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch) Authors: Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman Genre: Fantasy/ humour Medium (fiction, non-fiction, novel, novella, poetry, biography etc): Fiction novel. Why You Should Read It: It's not a classic like some of the others...

Op shops are every cheap bookworm's best friend. It may take a while if you're looking for a particular title, but it's well worth it when you find it for 50c (or, in the case of most charity ones, when someone with good taste in books dies and they all get sold for less than a buck each :D ).
