Kill Me Now: Oral History of the Punk Movement I dunno if I could get through that one, sounds colourful though. I remember Rory reading it at some pt. Speaking of punk I saw The Buzzcocks in concert last week. My bf is a major 70's punk fan.

Sounds interesting enough but I´ve no idea how to get my hands on that one. Doubt my library has it. Whose the author?

doing the perfume will be good too because then we will all be able to compare the book to the movie when it comes out, of course all movies have a massive lapse in their release date between the time they come out everywhere else, and Australia. Or so it seems. So I will be behind

That´s mean! We could read another book and wait with the perfume until everyone´s had the possibility to see the movie. How about a book from rbc list? Or has anyone read them all already?

Yeah, I opt for one book at a time. I'm that type of reader: I can't read more than one book at a time because I mix things up and get confused. Not to mention I already have lots of reading for school so just one book would be best for me. *Quick question: Why do we pay our teachers at university soo much when they just tell us to read the bloody textbook and barely teach anything themselves? OMG I have a professor this semester, who only reads his notes for lectures. Then tells us just to listen to his key points and go look them up in the text. Then for our discussion groups he tells us we don't really have to go because it's only 5 % of our marks. He's encouraging people not to go.... He cannot lecture, only reads an essay he wrote. Some prof's should not be prof's.

What irresponsible lunatic hired this guy? I mean you pay high fees. And discussion groups are really important.
