Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
Life of Pi - Yann Martel

I liked 'Life of Pi', and I'm planning to read 'A Brave New World' after Christmas when I can buy books cheaper.

I just finished a book called 'Stuart: A Life Backwards' by Alexander Masters and I'm planning on reading 'The Pact' by Jodi Picoult next. I'm also planning to read Virginia Woolf's 'To the Lighthouse' as well. I think I'll start on some non-fiction as well in early January. I have a book called 'The New Brain' which seems interesting, as well as some other stuff.

I've started going crazy with reading now that VCE is over and I actually have time/energy!

I'm reading Capitalism and Freedom by Milton Friedman slowly. It's on my mobile phone as a Java application, since I get home on the way home (and to the city). It's hard to read on the mobile phone screen :(

      Blowing up Russia - *by* Litvinenko
      Jacqueline Kennedy: The White House Years

   I'm reading both in bookshops so I don't have to buy them :)

     About to read: A kiss before dying -by Ira Levin [prequel to Rosemary's Baby] but it's supposed to be *the* most addictive thriller so I need to wait until I've some time
