Ah yes I have just finished one of his novels and yes I am curling up as I type...
I would love to take languages too - I have yet to make my mind up over whether to continue with French or to take up German or Italian? Ach, both have good qualities, I mean I'd love to be able to read Goethe in German but then there is the prospect of living on pizza for a year in Italy! Baaah....I suppose I have a week or so to decide...
Oh I'm only joking about Jane Austen - I have barely picked up one of her books. I have a copy of Pride and Prejudice somewhere...in the ether that is my cupboard. You should definitely advise me on which of her novels to read and I'll give them an open minded shot, I promise

.
I am quite slow as well, but that is because I am thinking about what I'm reading it when I'm reading it, if that makes sense? I hope it does! Yes I think I might drop film studies in favour of taking two languages! It will probably look better on the ole' CV, you know, considering we are doing arts degrees, they could do with some attention!
Are you considering part time work? Wonder if HMV will give me a job...can always try

.
Oh and on the Harry Potter note - I really liked it, I mean I wasn't obsessed with it but I thought it was a damn good read! I think there are people out there who belittle its "literary merit" just to get noticed. lol miaow...someone pass a saucer of milk.....
So apart from Jane Austen and Harry Potter, are there any other writers or novels that you particularly love?
