Books and Weather - What a non sequiter!

I am not going to bitch about school except for the horrible weather. When my British friends complain about the terrible London weather, I wish they'd be instantly teleported to Singapore and experience the heat wave that is constantly inflicting it's presence on us. The temparature is hot, humid and it has that sticky feeling to it. Urgh. School is becoming a drag because of this. I only enjoy lessons in the LTs or in the air-conditioned classrooms. At least it prevents me from dozing off from the immense heat. The library is another safe heaven to escape from the heat. Lol. But I do miss the study area. That used to be my safe heaven in JC1 when I was living the life of a hermit, towards the begining of the year.

Besides the crappy weather, I was so bored during my free period (yeah someone please shout and remind me A levels are in 5 months' time) that I came up with a reading list. Something to get a indepth insight to the subjects I am studying.

For Whom The Bell Tolls - Ernest Hemingway - nearly finished
Farewell to Arms - Hemingway - finished
Age of Innocence - Edith Wharton - reading
1984- George Orwell
The World is Flat - Thomas Friedman
Jude, The Obscure - Thomas Hardy
Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen - finished
Sense and Sensibility - Jane Austen - finished
God of Small Things - Arundhuti Roy - finished

I'll update the list as and when I come across a new book. :)
