First time?

life of pi...

Yup...I'm not really an avid reader so there are plenty of classics I haven't managed to read yet.

It's a great read, a try to get to it once every couple years. Just read it last summer.

I heard it's got loads of homoerotic subtext...http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/c...wer/giggle.gif

'If his chest had been a cannon he would have shot his heart upon it...' = one of three literary quotes in my arsenal

I was going to read this a few years back, but then my school librarian told me not to because I'd just be bored by it! :p:

Right now it's Netherland by Joseph O'Neill, which is absolutely spectacular. Definitely deserves all the praise it's been getting! It's also encouraged me to go re-read The Great Gatsby, which I'll pick up when I'm done.

Melville isn't for those who don't like reading I'd think. I've never read Moby but I read two of his other works and the writing is archaic. Beautiful but arcane to be sure.

How'd you like is Adidasss?

some dreck i read now... Frederick Forsyth's The Devil's Alternative

best book i read this year... Graham Greene's The Power and the Glory

Your school librarian should be fired. Also she is either not very smart or a liar. It's impossible to be bored by Moby ****, not like it fine, but it's anything but boring.


Very valid criticism.
