    I think I can dcc you macbeth at least, but I think that&#39;s also out on project gutenberg.

    All you&#39;d need is a palm &#39;puter, or an e-book reader, or a cell that can handle repligo or txt and you might be able to save some money if more of it can be found electronically, it&#39;d ahve to be a lot of books, including stuff from the next terms.

    Looking at Amazon it&#39;s not going to cost me much more that 100 GBP to get all the books I need for this term, and most of this will be subbed to me by relatives.
    Good, feel lucky you don&#39;t have to get lots of material on linguistic theory, that stuff is damned hard to find online, and it can cost a bundle. [/b][/quote]
    I wisely chose not to do any modules involving English language, I&#39;ll stick to reading books and poems.

    What tv show are those guys from Cheese? I saw a bit of it a few nights ago, and damn it was funny.

    The guys in my av/sig are from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, which is the funniest cartoon around bar none.

    There are loads of episodes available everywhere, though on Bittorrent I think you can get all 3 series if you have teh fast broadband.

    It&#39;s an epic satire. A gentleman steals a lock of a lady&#39;s hair, causing a most terrible scene at the social.

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t

    I am reading The Secret Self Short Short Stories by Women...yawn.

    Not being sexist or anything but women&#39;s writing always sends me to sleep.

    Willa Cather next...joy.

    I like Pride and Prejudice.

    You could simply be picking the wrong type of writer too Cheese. There are excellent female writers and terrible female writers, as is the same case with male writers. Which other books have you tried?

    Short stories I&#39;ve not much a fondness for. More often than not, they are done poorly.
