Reading book 11 of 'The Wheel of Time' series of fantasy books by Robert Jordan. It's been over a year since I read the others, so am really really lost as theres no reminder of whats happened previously, bah : o
I'm almost finished with A Clockwork Orange. Very interesting book, with a very "evil" main character. I love the language Anthony Burgess creates, and the philosophy in it (the novel).
At the moment I'm reading The Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis and am really enjoying it. It's a very cleverly written and interesting book and I'd really recommend giving it a look sometime.
The Things They Carried by Tim something, I'm helpful. :]
Sometimes, you have to try more than once.
Alice came to a fork in the road
"Which road do I take?" she asked.
"Where do you want to go?" responded the Cheshire cat.
"I don't know," Alice answered.
"Then," said the cat, "It doesn't matter."
I read 1984 (George Orwell) last week, thought it was a little disappointing because everyone says it's brilliant...I'm going to read it again soon though and give it another chance!
I just read 1985 by Anthony Burgess. The first half of the book is an essay about how rubbish and wrong 1984 is. The second part is his alternative to 1984, twas rather good.

The Things They Carried by Tim something, I'm helpful. :]
I believe it's Tim O'Brian, my friend read that and loved it, I guess there are a couple out by him?
I just finished Startled By His Furry Shorts by Louise Rennin...? I dunno, I am madly in love with the Georgia Nicolson series and can't wait for the next one to come out!
Currently reading High Fidelity by Nick Hornby, haven't read enough yet to say whether it's good or not.
Before that I read Don't tell mummy which I think was by Toni Maguire... I really liked that book although it was a sad true story I think the ending kicked arse
It’s not always that easy to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys,
Sinners can surprise you and the same is true for saints.
Why do we try to define people with simply good or simply evil?
Because no one wants to admit that compassion and cruelty can live side by side in one heart and that anyone is capable of anything.
One amazing book to read is Why I Jumped by Tina Zahn. It starts off being depressing but by the end it is sooooooo encouraging. And also the good ole Bible is great!
I've just read The Men Who Stare At Goats (quite funny factual story of the US military) and The End of Faith. I am currently half way through The God Delusion.
