In those classical books, if anyone ever gets a slight physical disadvantage, like a night of running around outside, or like being stabbed in the eye by a fire, you know they'll be in bed with a fever all summer, and dead with that cop out illness 'consumption' in two or three chapters. You can always tell.

Finished my exams now, yippee!!Kevin wrote:kate bush's song is odd... like the book. not that i read it, merely the summary notes on gradesaver did i finish reading just now - about 30 pages of word document, not a doddle. great story. i wish i had 3 months to stay in bed right now. exam is in less than 8 hours. heinous.

I've dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they've gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered color of my mind.
Get yourself the Gormenghast Trilogy by Mervyn Peake (first book is called Titus Groan). It's a gothic fantasy, like a generic hybrid of HDM and Frankenstein.but i ended up just reading the book for leasure aswell, and it got me reading frankenstien (which i managed to get extra points for comparing the teo), so now i've really got into the whole Gothic Fiction genre its very interesting
