    Everything you could want in a good book (and some that you don't want)

    It's not a good book to start with and even if the course disagrees it has no real vision and viewpoint with which to work on and even the Cultural Context is relatively weak. One book that should be considered has to be 1982.

    I'm now 100 pages in! Feel quite proud of myself! :P Tisn't as heavy going as I expected..

    Somehow I don't think I'll ever read the Lord of the Rings... Haven't even seen the movies like! :o

    Ah the movies are a load of pillock! Books beat them every time. They can take ages to get through though. Any sort of break and you end up having to skip back pages trying to remember where you were.
    Spent my summer before first year reading them :rolleyes:
