I really like that book. I didn't find it too scary. More sad than anything.

Way better than the god-awful film, though.

the 1980 film is excellent
definitely improves on its source material

I am reading The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. I love kids books with pictures!

Kubrick's film awful? Tsk tsk, shape up boy. It's a classic.

just started prey by michael crichton
i dont mind dean koontz either. what did you think of velocity?

To be quite honest, i havent read it. I neglected my reading a heap during the hsc.. the most recent ones before this are "From the corner of his eye", which i absolutely love, By the light of the moon, and The Taking. All very good.

Do you like his older stuff or newer better? Im more into the newer lot...not so much sci-fi.

The Life Lottery by Ian Irvine - third in the Human Rites trilogy.
Excellent books about the future (only 10-40 years) and how the climate will change and affect everything.

I just finished reading The Runaway Jury by John Grisham this morning. I've borrowed a few books for holiday reading and might begin another Grisham tonight or maybe a Jeffrey Deaver.

Has anyone read "A Clockwork Orange?" I forgot who by, sorry, but it's .. quite.. it's basically written in another language almost. I've heard the movie's quite contraversial and about distopia, but I have yet to read the book.

Tess D'urberville- Thomas Hardy
Far From the Manning Crowd- Thomas Hardy
Secret Scribble Notebooks (or something) for English
Leonardo Da Vinci ^^ Oh, just because.

It's by Burgess and why do you say it's in another language? The english that I read was perfectly comprehendable. It's got a couple of crazy pseudo-russian words in it, but it's fine to read.

I've asked the school librarian to order it in for me =P
She was also about to give me the video until she realised it was R rated :rofl:

Can't wait for the read though!

 

[walrusbear]

both movie and book of 'a clockwork orange' are worth pursuing
