And read every book ever.

EVER.

omg this.
I know I'll still have to worry about year 12 and all, but the thought of having all these books to read at least over the summer holidays IS SO EXCITING
Maybe I should start now, since Psych's over with and I don't have anything else to really worry about!  :D

I'm going a Double in Arts/Secondary Education but doing the intensive Latin course before the first semester starts!
Wait, so you can do a double degree at Melbourne? I've always been told you couldn't! OMG THIS IS EXCITING

I think he's doing the Latin course at UoM and then is doing the double degree at Monash.

Also get on Catcher in the Rye. It's one of those books either you hate or you love.

I love it.
Along with The Great Gatsby this is one of the texts that made me want to live in New York haha. Amazing stuff.

Word.

My ideal holiday in a nutshell as well!

Yay osgood!! Which ones would you read?
I think I'll start with Midsummer Night's dream ; it would be most apt. :)
I need to make a list of books I'm going to read, actually. Any suggestions?
Would you believe though, that I've never read Pride and Prejudice? (...don't hate on me, haha.)


Hi Lozmatron!
Well, I've only ever read Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet and Macbeth before, though I have seen King Lear..! I would probably reread Hamlet to be honest because I think I'd have to reread it a fair few times to really soak in its notions..ugh, I really love it, was cut when it was cut from the Lit selected readings. I think I'll be reading Antony and Cleopatra for Lit these holidays though. What would you recommend?
Haha, don't worry, I hadn't read Pride and Prejudice until this year AND I didn't even like it all that much, I thought all the female characters were quite unlikeable :)
A few weeks back, I made a list of books to read the coming holidays so I dug it up:
The Courage to Stand Alone, Wei JingSheng

 The Philosopher’s Pupil, Iris Murdoch

The Rebel, Albert Camus

We, Yevgeny Zamyatin

International Relations, A Very Short Introduction

A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens

The Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels

The Three Emperors: Three Cousins, Three Empires and the Road to World War One

The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet, David Mitchell

The Finkler Question, Howard Jacobson

Vincent by himself
WRITINGS OF VAN GOGH ORGANIZED IN CORRESPONDENCE WITH HIS PAINTINGS

The Dictators: Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s Russia, Richard Overy

My Life, Bill Clinton

War and Peace, Leo Tolstoy

AW MAN, I am pumped to read them.
But books I recommend include 'The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore' by Benjamin Hale and 'The Plague' by Albert Camus.
What about you?

Midsummer Night's Dream is my absolute favourite Shakespeare text. Alongside Julius Caesar and a few others :P

Another book for you all to read is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. So inspiring, especially to you folk going into year 12.

I'm currently reading Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon; it's super dense and you'd want a dictionary beside you to check words like 'mesozoan' or 'preterite'. It's often described as a post-modern classic, so if you're into that, check it out.

As I said earlier, only the headstart work for me. I went and did the whole Further course in the summer holidays last year and I regretted not taking an adequate break. Not to mention, it didn't really help too much either. :P
