i've just been skimming through the thread.. what stood out to me was everyone who're bashing on renowned masterpieces like narnia and da vinci code because of all the mainstream media attention. i'm willing to bet that all the controversial attention is the reason u raised ur expectations so...

just finished '1st to die' by james patterson. pretty intense during the middle, but i sorta already predicted the end and it wasn't that big a twist. doesnt matter tho .. to me any crime novel is worth reading.

i've always thought ebooks kill the whole purpose of reading books, cause you're restricted to staying in front of the computer screen as opposed to bringing it where you go and reading it at an opportunity (waiting rooms, uni breaks etc). but then i've found more books in ebook format than in...

ahah i saw that video on mugglenet.. the most we could do is try our best not to come across spoilers (i avoided the net and turned my phone off during the hours it took me to read HBP), but what that guy did was uncalled for. i kno how u feel tho.. i had to rush through books 5 and 6, if it...

apparently in his books he has a tendency to give an impression that what he's writing about is true. eg the "real truth" behind jesus and christianity that he talks about in da vinci code. i'm a catholic and although you'd think these implications would offend us, to some extent it did but i...

first i'll say that i'm not gonna bother with using roll-overs since everythings been blown in the last 8 pages anyway.. yea, i agree there was a lot of "wtf humour" as i'd like to call it .. i've agreed and disagreed with heaps of stuff i've read in this thread, since theres been so many...

i got my 'you were successful' email around 2 days after my group interview which was 2 weeks ago .. last week i find out they actually called up my last employer, how long does it usually take for them to get back to you with a job offer? for me its so far so good but i'm still not hoping for...

it depends on ur supervisor. during my english exam i had to duck out and go vomit, and the supervisor walked in on me vomiting and that served as proof enough for them to give me an exemption. i didn't wanna leave the exam so they let me continue on with it and the head sup told me it would be...

yea that was like me, my hsc marks were better than i expected but my uai was shithouse. but i'm in uni now and it was all based entirely on an audition and assumed knowledge, so its all good. it was fun staying up all night the night before our marks and uai tho, even though i felt shitted when...

since all mine are UK i guess i'll have to get that one ... although if it was my choice i'd want it in paperback :mad:

very much 10char

if i dont get into it in the first few chapters then i just stop altogether. otherwise i do end up finishing a majority of the books i start reading. the ones i give up on are usually books my friend wants me to read, or fantasies. its actually rare if i dont finish a book.

i'm reading it right now and am almost finished. yea i realised it was similar in style to the da vinci code but i'm still enjoying it nonetheless. i was pretty impressed with all the brands, how they were all symmetrical and shit.

going to school an attending class was basically the only motivation i got to do work during the HSC ... e-learning would have screwed me up cause i know i can just access it online at anytime, hence i'll keep putting off study.

yea that too

exactly ;) its also a good time killer, especially on the train or car over long distances.

and you cant use bodily fluids too (eg. blood, and u kno the rest) ... i kno that sounds a bit off but our teacher stressed that to us as much as the glass factor so it cant hurt to bring it up. and yea 'body of work' is jsut a term they use now, doesn't necessarily have to be many works, if...

yea i just got mine a few weeks ago and have a massive fear something like that will happen ... but yea since it costs so much an all they should understand enough to try repair it under warranty.

so far its all pretty much theory based, they make us do everything in 1st year and we choose our majors in 2nd or 3rd year, cant remember which. theres around 150 - 200 ppl in my course, facilities are ok, not as great as the con but its better than what you'd find in high school. theres 5...

i liked PoA the most cause harry find out more about himself, and we learn more about his family and their past aswell and why its relevant to his life. same with OotP, even though its not as action packed as the rest it reveals a shitload more about harry, and the depth of the plot of the whole...
