Also found Kokoda to be a top read. His book Tobruk is also worth your time, probably enjoyed it more than the Kokoda book because i knew bugger all about our North Africa campaign.

I r still reading Crime and Punishment

is good

Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury. Brilliant. If any who is into science fiction and wonders about the future and what it could be like. Try this. Same message as 'Brave New World' - Aldous Huxley and 1984 - George Orwell, but put more simpler. =]

 

[Taskan]

Radio Free Albemuth - Philip K. Dick

Simple does not mean good. Simple means bad. Complexity involves deep, philosophical thought.

nevertheless, fahrenheit 451 is an excellent, meaningful book.

Well I am a pretentious wank, so I don't really mind too much.

No, simple is always best.

Ever tried to hand in a creative piece which was complex? You get a simple, shit mark.

Novels don't get assessed to stringent guidelines and are read by people who love reading for both the storyline and the moral of the story. Besides which, it's a bit of a stretch to compare your work to the likes of Blair and Huxley.

 

[georgefren]

Ha. It was actually Orwell who said that simple was best.
