Teikou Finished The Night is for Hunting, the two copies of the last book are both on loan now so I have to wait gonk I've also read Marmalade Boy vol. 1, just another random manga I picked up at the library, was pretty good too biggrin
Please note that I only have copies of Tomorrow When The War Began, The Night Is For Hunting and The Other Side of Dawn in my possession, so I've read those three to death and don't like them as much now, making my opinion somewhat biased.
Interesting sidenote, I own a legitimately purchased version of TWTWB and have never read that copy, but my copy stolen from Kimberly College (actually I borrowed it then left the school and couldnt be ******** going the hour long drive to return it, and considering they still owe me a junior certificate, I think its a fair trade) has been read to death, as well as the copies of The Other Side of Dawn and The Third Day, The Frost (or whatever its called, unfortunately I've lost it) also "stolen" from the same school.
Currently reading: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (making my way through the series, well, just books 4->6 couldnt be bothered finding 1, 2 and 3) and just finished "Aka: The Battle Within" (Jason Akermanis' autobiography)

You didn't really spoil the plot for me since I thought the series was quite consistent so far and I'm enjoying it 3nodding From what I understand you've only read the 1st, 4th and 7th books of the series therefore making your opinion completely invalid xp

I'm reading Matthew Reilly's books now, first Ice Station, then Contest, both brilliant action novels. Hoping to borrow Area 7 some time soon. I also borrowed Dan Brown's the Da Vinci Code and plan to start reading it on the weekend.

First time I read it it was great, its just one of those things that come from the excessive reading, you start to notice things you missed the first time because you get swept up in the book, when you go back the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, even 20th time, you tend to read it in a different light *shrugs*

It's a bit like Harry Potter. It's the best the first time. Still, I manage to rush through it being so eager to see the plot and don't enjoy it as well.
John Marsden's got a new series out after Tomorrow, the Ellie Chronicles. Only the first one's been released, I think.
Mini: Read Angels and Demons. Must better.
And I've read Educating Rita the play because we need it for next term. It's alright, not bad, though I was a little disappointed. I expected it to be longer, and have a larger variety of setting and characters, but I didn't know.

I see... I'm not one of those people who can read a book twice, I pretty much notice everything the first time 3nodding Sometimes I'll read a page a few times if I don't completely grasp what's happening xd

I am reading De Loused In The Comatorium by The Mars Volta, that's is the story book, not the lyrics to the songs on the album of the same name! RAH!
Damn they're good at making up words. The words they make up always make perfect sense too. Like Frankenstatue. That's a fantastic word.

I'm sort of reading The King of Torts by John Grishom... or Grisholm, I forgot the spelling ._. Quite a good read so far, getting an insight to how mass torting works which is interesting :3 Now all I need is time to finish it, probably have to return it to library soon >_<

This is what they get for never giving me my junior certificate back. And for managing to get my grades wrong on it too.
Oh, and for being a glorified parking lot xd
On a more on topic note, just finished reading Thud! and now reading Going Postal.
If you need to ask the author you need to be hit hard over the head xp
