Started reading Ceremony by Leslie Marmon Silko today. Bit early to judge the book, but I like what I've read so far.
Anyone have any opinions on The Book Thief by Markus Zusak? My Mum gave me her copy when I went home recently and she loved it. It looks really interesting.
The Book Thief is AMAZING. I read it last year and I absolutely loved it, it's one of the best books I've read. It seriously made me cry though.
Typical Waugh really. I happen to like his novels but I can see why you wouldn't. There's not much to say about them because they're just stories about the upper class.

I've only read 'Brideshead Revisited' so I can't comment on Waugh in general - though I have 'Decline and Fall' on my reading list. I adored 'Brideshead' after reading it in depth; but there were many who didn't. I think the same objection could be made against Jane Austen's novels...
Reading The Crucible by Arthur Miller at the moment; it's fantastic so far. On which note, there doesn't seem to be a thread on TSR for plays in theatre; are there not many enthusiasts?
