Brilliant its the worst book i've ever read.

lol! did you study it at school?? did u perouse the pages of a dog-eared copy, underlining important quotes with lead pencil and write essay after essay on the themes, values etc?? always takes away the sheer magic away from reading!

it explores dreams quite fluidly aswell... i wrote an essay on that once [term 1, 2008]... it was a comparative related text assignment thing.. we had to pick 2 texts that explored 'dreams' and write an essay! i did vanilla sky and catcher in the rye and got 20/20- i can send if u so desire! pm me for a good time.

Try the State Library of NSW. You can't borrow anything, but they have a very comprehensive collection, and you can ask the librarian for help as to where to find certain books and request certain titles to be found for you within 20 minutes.

Other good libraries are the City of Sydney and University libraries.

Your last resort would be your local library, or google
