Yes, Jackie Collins is NEVER short of an adjective  I like the idea of choose your own adventures - we could even expand this to make it a team sport, pitch states against states  |

well see the problem is we keep arguing over who wants to read what, who has read something already etc... so i think we should pick maybe @ least 5 books... different levels of difficulty and different topics in the hope everyone will be able to choose something they would like to start reading.

I know you can read big words, you two! You have to choose a book as well, otherwise I want a 1000 word critic (sp) within the month of the lead article from this weeks who zine and as part of your essay i want you to discuss cross media ownership laws: is deregulation good for Australia or just little johnny howard? It's your choice guys (LL - you can put the essay response in haiku form for added complexity - just because I know you can  ) |
