I've got that one, it's not bad but I thought it dragged on a bit towards the end. Is written from a very interesting perspective though, seems like a pretty original idea to me in that regard. I haven't bought a book in ages as I'm out of work at the moment just got hired by Big W though (major chain Australian department store chain) so hopefully that will change soon. The last book I bought was a textbook "An annotated copy of the civil liability act". Pure horror.

Dry? It sounds a lot more than that.

Wow, that´s a prompt reply ;D I´m glad I bought it then and I think I´ll read it as soon as I´m through my library book pile. Btw maybe we should start the library log threat again. Only I´ve no idea how to import it

I haven't bought any new books for a while. Until I'm done school, my money is tied up. With a nice little red bow.

You'll have to let me know how Death in Venice is. Someone suggested it to me, I don't remember why, and I was trying to wait and see if anyone else read it before I do.

I've read Surfacing. The action takes place not very from where I live. I hope you enjoy it, Margaret Atwood is amazing.
