just finished anthony and cleopatra. i liked it, aside from the portrayal of caesar. it seems like he didn't want cleopatra to be harmed, while in reality he killed her children after she died...

now: an article from those 'life' magazines you get in the paper, saying that generation Y is shit and generation Z is gonna save the world, because they've been more exposed to da intanets!

Finished 'And Hope to Die' by J.M. Caulder in 1 day and a half (it's one of those fast paced, action-crime novels), and now starting on 'Whitethorn' by Bryce Courtenay.

"The Years of Rice and Salt" by Kim Stanley Robinson (700 pages)

Just finsihed reading the Idiot actually i loved the relationship that builds between Mishkin & Agley (s/p), which he rejects for that other girl (you know the one that he saves). Thats all i really liked about. [I decided to read cause my English teacher last year suggesed to our class to read it. Personally i felt that it dragged on. IMO. ]

The Bubblelugs Bum Theif from the Aussie Bites book range. It's written by Morris Gleitzman.

I really recommend it. Has anyone else read it?


I'm finding it EXTREMELY hard to get through, but I'm getting there. :shy:

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy, the one translated by Larissa (I think) and a dude.

I've been trying to read it for ages, but I just don't think I like how it's written.

Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka had a really interesting first page, though.
