Kwayera are you going to do politics at university? You are strongly political you should do it at university to further your interest.

 

[Kwayera]

no no ...stay on books....its midsession and ive had 9 weeks of sooper dooper pain and 6 hours of study a night...i dont feel like arguing...

books are nice

so what books does everyone else like to read?

See, I'm in the mood for arguing (well, debating) because I have a lot of stress and angst to thrash out, and this issue is just so debatable.

I started to read in yr 10, and I was really into Matthew Reiley books. Thoses fast action packed movies that resemble action movies. In fact today I went searching for his latest book 'Scarecrow' (It was released a year ago, so Im a bit behind). I found the book and it was only in hardcover so I couldnt afford it.

The point is I havent found time to read in yr 11.

Maybe we should start a thread in the book forum.

Kwayera are you going to do politics at university? You are strongly political you should do it at university.

No, but, haha, really? Thanks for the, er, compliment, lol.

I dont think that was a compliment. My favourite book is mem of a Ghesha.

OMG, I love Matthew Reilly. I have all of his books (Scarecrow's not in trade pb, dd).

Can someone recommend a book for me to read on the train tomorow. I'm going to Victoria, which takes >8 hours.

BTW Kwayera, does pb=paperback and dd=dangerousdave? If it does then can you just call me Dave?

Yep, and sure.

[Kwayera]

yikes why dont you fly?

More expensive, I guess.

 

[dangerousdave]

yikes why dont you fly?

I'm going with my mum, and she doesnt like flying on small planes.

 

[Kwayera]

Small planes? You going to Avalon or something?

 

[Generator]

Scarecrow was ok... Too much action (if that's possible in one his books), unlike Ice Station which seemed to achieve a balance of sorts... I loved Ice Station.

 

[dangerousdave]

You may remember my story about moving to Sydney, well I came from Victoria. It's this small country town around 40km from the border of NSW/VIC i.e. Albury/Wodonga.

So if I was to fly, I'd be going the Albury.

Lots of people disagree with me, but I thought Temple was the best. I loved the parallel worlds, hated the cats though.
