im surprised no one has mentioned harry potter, even though i dont think it was that good i would of thought someone would of.

BEST: memoirs of a geisha - Arthur Golden
Prey- forgot author (thriller about computers)
james patterson's woman's murder club series is pretty good.
dan brown is also good.
oh and of course good old Cambridge 4unit, good night reading.
i like to kill a mocking bird, good themes and clear message.
BAD: i dont not like book, i just stop reading it if its boring, ive liked all my texts for english, yes even brave new world. i cant bring my self to reading Lord of the Rings though. :sleep:.long and boring much?

I don't think that's likely. Maybe take it to the vet. :)

Most books are books of ideas anyway, and it presents some very good ones. Those things you mentioned only seem so ridiculous because a lot of them are common today - proving his personal genius
More proving that he didnt fit in with his time period, and liked magic mushrooms

I haven't started reading it, but one of the prescribed texts for EE1 is Dune. Given the bible-like thickness of the novel and its Star Wars-like sequence, I'm gonna die reading this mumbo jumbo.

Well I thought the time travel perspective was interesting. :p
And yeah, it was better than certain books I've had to read this year. :mad1:
