Weave Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 What did you think of it? Hi Michelle, I enjoyed reading it, I found myself getting quite frustrated with the story (in parts), nicely written, but I found the ending a bit rushed. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 I finished 'The Riders' by Tim Winton, I really enjoyed it. I am now reading ' The Divine Comedy' by Dante Alighieri (my book for the house) and 'The Edible Woman' by Margaret Atwood, my book bag x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polka Dot Rock Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I am now reading ' The Divine Comedy' by Dante Alighieri Hey, I have to read that for my MA! I'm terrified! Can you produce a Gyre's Notes: The Divine Comedy for me?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freewheeling Andy Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I thought The Riders was a really, really weird book. Very interesting, though I preferred the other book of Winton's that I've read: Dirt Music, which I loved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weave Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Almost finished 'The Edible Woman' by Margaret Atwood, its one of her first books and it shows, but in a good way. I love the main character, Marian, she is so unwittingly funny. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
