Re: What's the most difficult book you've ever read (or tried to)? (Lacan, Joyce, etc "...And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." :mad1: The hardest novel for me to read was One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey. The psychotic, stream-of-consciousness-style was just...

The fight-scenes and Jet Li's/Jackie Chan's kung fu will most likely be very entertaining to watch. Everything else will probably be a disaster. BTW, it's 'family-friendly' too, so that's a bad sign for anyone anticipating a movie like Jet Li's Hero. (Ying Xiong)

If you have lived in Australia for a only a certain number of years, you are qualified. I think it was five years, but I'm not one hundred percent on that. Not sure how this applies to Australian-born, long term resident students who simply display a lack of rigor in the subject.

I do the voices when I read plays by myself. :p

Just finished Thomas Hardy's Mayor of Casterbridge. Now starting on 'And Hope to Die' by J.M. Calder.

Intellectually stimulating and challenging would be Extension 1 English. Most interesting would be Economics and Society and Culture. EX1 - Very mind probing and high order thinking required Economics - Interesting to now what is going on in the Economy Society & Culture - Interesting to learn...

Streuth! Isn't it obvious he meant to type 2008? I do not detect a hint of sarcasm in any of the posts so far.

Seriously? I think Hard-work > Natural Aptitude HOWEVER: Over working, studying several hours flat and not giving yourself a break =/= Hard-work. People who study like this are usually (and I do say usually) using time inefficiently with an inappropriate study method, and could possibly...

I do that too. You pick up things you did not notice during the first reading.

Mine would be Remus Lupin. From the movies, it would be Hermione Granger.

From Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl - Jack: Captain Jack Sparrow, if you please, sir. Norrington: Well, I don't see your ship, Captain. Jack: I'm in the market as it were. Murtogg: He said he'd come to commandeer one. Mullroy: Told ya he was telling the truth...
