King Dork. It's pretty good. I saw it at the library, and I'm a total geek, so I had to read it.

Microserfs.

It's fantastic! I'm reading it because I'm not sure what to do for my Higher English (we have to write an essay about a novel, prose or poem we've read). I've narrowed it down to Microserfs, 2001: A Space Oddessy, The Raven, Lord Of The Flies and A Clockwork Orange.

Do it about whichever is easiest to analyse- whichever book has the most obvious points of analysis and then a couple of hidden depths you can throw in. If you go for something too clever you'll end up losing marks.

Don't do Lord of the Flies unless you really want to put some hefty analysis in, because that's a GCSE text over here so a soft option. A Clockwork Orange is an A Level text here, so would be quite suitable for a Highers essay.

I just got finished reading this. It was quite amusing.
A LIFE THAT SEEMS SO AMUSED BY ALL THE THINGS THAT I REFUSE. :roflol:

The Lord of the Flies.

Summer reading strucks again... I'm almost done and it's not too bad, it's just a pity that I know how it's going to end already :(

I'm reading, Wizard's Holiday by Diane Duane. (Sequal to A Wizard Alone)

that's a good one, though I still prefer the first, third, and fourth ^_^

I need to read the seventh. I never got around to buying it.

at the moment, I am rereading The Deer On A Bicycle, by Patrick McManus.

Just finished reading an Emily Rodda book. Next book will probably be Scarecrow by Matthew Reilly. It'll be that or Area 7 anyways.

Last Man Standing

About some FBI agent who walk into an ambush with his team, but for some reason freezes just before his team walks into the trap. His whole team gets annihilated, and he has to live with the guilt of being the only survivor whilst not even getting any major injuries. Many people get suspiscious of him and stuff happens - yeah I'm only about 1/5 of the way through so bear with me ;)
