ok i'll kick off the new book forum with a great book i am currently reading .
it's "brother fish" written by Bryce Courtney.
the book's main character is from Queen Island , off Tasmania in the Bass Straight . which makes it more interesting for me .
i'm halfway through it and finding it hard to put down .
anyone else read it ??

Damn, beat me to it.

Bryce Courtney is evil. His books are awful and so too is anyone who enjoys them. I thought only 60+ year olds read his crap. Damn baby boomers, and damn the Wright Brothers.

I read and enjoyed The Power of One and Tandia, a long time ago, but they were alright. Then again, I've read all genre's. I kid you not when I reveal as a primary school kid I read a lot of The Babysitters Club

I Can Jump Puddles by Alan Marshall was the big read when I was at school. It wasn't too bad either.

I was a "Three Investigators" boy. Babysitters after my time. By the age of 12 I had two bookcases (not shelves, bookcases) of books I'd read. Had some sort of mania for keeping any book I'd read. Got me in a lot of trouble with the library.

haha same. I've read a million books, been reading from a very young age. Also, throughout secondary school I had an hour and a half bus ride each way, and since I preferred reading to copping nipple-cripples off the big boys I went through a lot of books

I can Jump puddles and Of Mice and men were two standout reads from my school days . I defy anyone to watch "of Mice and Men " the movie and not shed a tear

ok finished Brother Fish and i give it a 5 out of 10 ...i was quite enjoying it until 3 quarters the way through it bogged down and became very tiresome , which was a pity because the first half was well worth reading
