I've just started 'Mathinna's People' by Nan Chauncy. It appears to be a very touching story with a tragic end. It's about the aborigines of Tasmania who were very happy folks till the arrival of colonists on the island.

At the moment I'm reading "The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger. I think it's a really good book and am enjoying it loads. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a good book to read.

I've given up on Practical Magic, I just couldn't get in to it.

I'm going to attempt Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. I've heard bad and good things but its worth a shot.

Just started reading The Electric Kool-Aide Acid Test by Tom Wolfe. Great so far and I've been excited to read this book for awhile since it's almost like a sequel to On the Road by Jack Kerouac (since Neal Cassady, the inspiration for Dean Moriarty in On the Road is a member of Ken Kessey's Merry Pranksters) and a parallel book to Hell's Angel's by Hunter S. Thompson (since the Merry Prankster/ Hell's Angels get together at La Honda is a major scene in both books) wich are two of my all time favorite books.
