Book Club & Reading List 2007

Being the nerd I am, I decided it was time I started up 2007's reading list. A quick review of my reading list, confirmed that I am definitely NOT reading enough fun stuff ... hopefully I'll be able to do a bit more fun reading this year.

Book Club Reading List:

1. [Feb 07] Drylands by Thea Astley;
2. [Apr 07] Stone Cradle by Louise Doughty
3. [July] Silent in the Grave by Deanna Raybourn
4. [September] Kite Runner

And stuff I read in between:

1. Mafia Wife by Lynda Milito;
2. The Debutante Divorcee by Plum Sykes, yup, seriously high brow stuff;
3. The Yes Man by Danny Wallace, a recommendation from Parrish - moral of this story is "say yes more" and you never know what good things will come your way!
4. Ines of my Soul by Isabel Allende (I found this kind of hard to get into and am still trying to finish it...I don't think its a train book - more of a "to-be-read-over-the-weekend" sort of book;
5. Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom (author of The Five People You Meet in Heaven). This guy is a really amazing, sensitive writer. I read the majority of this book whilst training to work, and had to read with my sunnies on, as bits of it are real tear jerkers...B lent me the book, however, I love it so much, I'm getting myself my own copy. It's a great book to help you get some perspective on life.
6. East West by Salman Rushdie;
7. The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri - an absolutely fabulous read!
8. God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy - takes a while to get into it

How long's it been since high school?!

I was out with one of my friends from clerkship days (which seems like AAAAGES ago, especially after having the new clerks in over christmas), and anyway, we were having a chat about her High School reunion, which is due in October.

I asked her what year reunion it was. When she told me it was her 10 year reunion, I was astounded - "Are you serious?! What year did you graduate from highschool?!" Her response: 1997. Just like me.

I cant believe its been 10 years.

Underground...

...is where I've been since work started up again this year!

I had one of my friends comment that I hadnt blogged for a while, so I thougt I might log on to see just how long it's been. It had been so long that I'd forgotten my username AND my password. Not good. Anyway, am back in...

I am managing to keep my gallery (see left) more up to date than my blog - well excpet my Melb pix - we went to Melbourne in the new year, and I still havent had a chance to put them all online. There are too many!
