Brains! Stephen Send a noteboard - 03/08/2012 11:44:06 AM
Um, Stephen was a poor student this past year so he faces the ignominy of several repeated examinations to be sat between the dates of the 9th to the 14th of August inclusive. This state of affairs shall no doubt cause the first half of the month to be considered a write-off in terms of literary readings, though this situation shall be rectified in the concluding portion of this month.

Anyway, I'll no doubt read these books:
Flowers for Algernon - Daniel Keyes
The Leopard - Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa
Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter - Mario Vargas Llosa
