And so, I have some homework...

Work was...actually really fun. And I spent 4 out of the 5 hours I worked detailing (folding, sizeing, straighttening, oragizeing by color...) the jean wall in women's plus. I was assigned all of the jean walls, but after working at Bass my detailing is so, well, detailed simply by habit it took me much longer than it does the average Shopko ( Read more... )

"Trainspotting" by Irvine Welsh. Once you've read that, buy "Porno" by the same author. It's the sequal, see.
Failing that, "1984" by George Orwell, if you have not read that masterpiece already.

Oo! I have heard wonderful thins about 1984. Perhaps I should return Wurthering Heights and just read that for first quarter.
I believe I've heard of Trainspotting, too. But...Porno? Now, not that I'm not intrigued, but I wonder how the title reflects the contents of the book?. It needs to be appropriate for a report for school ;P

Well Trainspotting is about squatters and druggies in scotland, i believe, and Porno is the sequal where the same charachters are now in the buissness of making porn films, it's not actually a "porno" book (unfortunatly, mehe). Irvine Welsh has another book out called "Filth", though i am unsure what it is about, it's not related to the trainspotting series.
But get 1984, because it is a "classic" as well as a bloody brilliant story which you can relate to real life on many levels, especially now with the current world situation regarding the East and Western sides of the world.
Animal Farm and Down and Out in London and Paris by Orwell are great too, so find them after 1984.

How exciting! I plan to study abroad in Scotland for a semester in college, so it'll be interesting to learn of their drug dealing and pornography industries in advance ;)
I've read reviews for books by Welsh, evidently his novels are remarkably similar to that of Bret Easton Ellis, who wrote The Rules Of Attraction and American Psycho (also kinky movies).

Napoleon the pig frightens me.

And now I'm completely convinced I *must* read 1984. But, for the moment I will be reading the infamous Wurthering Heights...simply because it's tiny and I only have a little over a week to complete the book and the report :/
