Yeah, she's nice isn't she? I met J.K Rowling too! She was proper wicked. But umm yeah, i used to ADORE Jaqueline Wilson but now i find her really patronising and like she's trying to write like a teenager but fails. I did adore her books though when i was the right age.

Thanks guys! I wish i had time to read a book for fun, but college has been keeping me busy :-P Right now for one of my classes we're reading Antigone (the Sophocles version). thank you for the suggestions though, i'll keep them in mind for Christmas break when i have nothing to do :razz: :-)
-
For myself right now I'm reading The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe and Moon Shot by Alan Shepard and Deke Slayton (going through a BIG space phase)
These are for school
Oedipus the King by Sophocles
Antigone by Sophocles <--- read that freshman year, but I like rereading things
Medea by Euripides
Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller
A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams
Oedipus at Colonus by Sophocles
Orestia Trilogy by Aeschylus
Looks like I'll be going Greek!
-
ALL the books in the Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging series, by Louise Rennison. SO funny.
-
Well I just read Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire, which is the book the musical is based off of. I thought it was pretty good.
Now I'm reading Scarlet Letter (somebody shoot me). It's amazing how long you can talk about a door...

I read that last summer and enjoyed it, but thought it was odd how they kept jumping seven years (was it seven?) ahead. The musical made it seem like 3 days or so! Though I guess that's what happens, and there were MANY other differences, Boq's identity, Fieryo having a wife, Nessarose having no arms and not bone problems. . . very different. The musical was so fun and the book was do dark.

yeah, see, I haven't seen the musical yet. It's coming here to St. Louis in November so I hope to see it then. But yeah, from what I hear the musical doesn't use the same details in the book such as Nessarose's having no arms etc. But I really enjoyed how the author came up with explanations for everything in the movie, like the monkey's wings and the red shoes..

right now i'm re-reading the harry potter series. i'm on the fourth, but i don't think i'll be able to reread the 5th before the 6th book comes out :-P
i've only gotten half way through wicked...i was reading my friend's copy and then we left for college :-P i want to see the musical more than anything though!
-
some of my favourites:
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller (silly, funny and shocking)
Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck (just a wow)
and if you're up for a challenge:
To the Lighthouse or Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf (complex, but very rewarding)
-
Virginia Woolf is one of my favorite authors!
stream of consciousness isn't so much challenging as it is dull ... it tends to drag on, but i LOVE the way VW uses it to her advantage. To The Lighthouse is amazing, as is A Room Of One's Own.
-
haven't read A room of one's own yet, but I have read The Waves which began to get boring after a while (or maybe I just didn't understand it well enough). I still have to read Orlando and The Years, but I got a load of books to read before I can begin reading those. And I want to reread some of my old books.......ooooh so many books so little time.
