Snow Crash is very good. Unfortunately, because I read this about the time the Canadian anthem came up in my school, whenever I hear O Canada I think of this book. ><

First reason why you should: The main character's name is Hiro Protagonist, and he's African-Japanese-American.

FINALLY, I got to start The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

I LOVED Hitchhiker's Guide. Superb!

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies - Jane Austen and Seth Grahame Smith.

M.T Anderson, eh? Didn't he write the vampire novel, "Thirsty"? If so, I've read it and it's not bad. So "Feed" is worth a read then?
When I set out from the boy's attic window, my head was so full of competing plans and complex strategems that I didn't look where I was going and flew straight into a chimney.

Something symbolic in that. It's what fake freedom does for you.

I'll soon be reading The Crucible in American Literature, looking forward to it.
All in all, these first two weeks of school have been pretty easy - all good so far.

haha...i don't think anyone's buying it, it's already 30% off at Coles.

Reading Broken Pencil, this magazine that refers to itself as a "zine." It's online, so satisfy your craving for weird, off-colour, short story, with me!

I've read some IRL zines before.

Finished The Moon is a Harsh Mistress recently. I think it was Heinlein's best book out of the ones I've read, Stranger in a Strange Land and Starship Troopers.
