I just finished reading the lastest Artemis Fowl (first one was read to me in primary school, meh). The next one will be the last, it's like that "end of childhood" Harry Potter sadness all over again. :<

Ooh, I hadn't realised that The Atlantis Complex was out already! Must've been away =[ is it any good?

I had no idea it was out either, only found out when a friend asked if I finished it yet! I loved it, does that great thing where it tells two seperate stories that tie together in the end, like in the first book.

That's one hell of a good book. Took me ages to get through it but well worth it.

I am currently reading the new cookbook my mum bought for me ^^

How to do a literature review in health and social care.

Nice to get to your final year and realise the job isn't worth doing one of these.

The Piano Teacher by Janice Y.K Lee. I'm not liking the switch between two different stories, and although her writing style is interesting, it's boring to read.  I'm usually interested in novels based on characters living in Japan and China, but the whole premise of the novel just rubs off as China being a randomly chosen location for English characters. :\

book fair yesterday. not as good a haul as the first time, only like 20 or so books. one of them is a gold leaf leather bound copy of anna karenina for only $9, crime and punishment was there aswell in the same set but was $20, decided against it since i already have two copies. and it's not exactly his dostoyevsky's best work, ehhhhh notes from the underground > c&p

anyway.
so i'm reading "what is to be done?" by lenin & "the lion the witch and the wardrobe" by c.s. lewis for school, isn't that a nice combo.
better than you, est. always

I just finished I Shall Wear Midnight by Terry Pratchett. Absolutely loved it.

Now I have many others to read, but I think I shall start with The Truth

Well did she make you cry? Make you break down?
Shatter your illusions of love?
And is it over now? Do you know how
To pick up the pieces and go home?
