Ah, I know someone who's read that..
Wait a second.. thats my sister who's read Eragon.. well, I read 2 books at once. 1 at school, 1 at home. I cant be bothered to move the book for every english lesson or every time I want to read it. Usually the book I read at home is finished faster.

I've just finished Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm.
I'll propably go and read some Umberto Eco as well as some mandatory Dutch literature next. After that there's always some more Greek philosophy to read into

I just finished The Knight of the Burning Pestle and am now reading The Shoemaker's Holiday. Jacobean city comedies, yay! (And yes, they're about as exciting as they sound...)

Wuthering Heights isn't too bad, actually. It's not the soppy love story you'd expect.
Are you reading it for fun or for school? |

Oh god.
How many times have I heard that? Read it again, wait, I bet you read the first paragraph and said "WTF?" Seriously though, try to figure out their slang and the book is much more enjoyable, in fact, deciphering their speech is one of the more entertaining parts of the book. A Clockwork Orange is one of the best books I've ever read, I can't see how anyone can be dissapointed in it. Unless those people are the certain few who only read horrors, fantasies, and science fiction titles. I'm reading the Bible now, not the King James one, that one is crappy. Although I'm not absolutly sure I believe in God, the Bible is still a great book, :w00t:

Its not the slang, I can sorta understand that...
Its the crimes n stuff they do, in the first 10 pages they go and umm..beat up a guy, I'm not exactly sure what they do because of the slang, but I don't really care for books like that where its descriptive n all about rape... |
