Currently half-way through Capricornia by Xavier Herbert.
That is, in between the various multiple tasks that I have managed to drown myself in!
Am enjoying this, especially after watching "Australia". (yes, Jackman) (ooh. also just watched Wolverine. are back-to-back multiple parentheses allowed?).
Absolutely love trying to read out Aussie pidgin slang as put in writing. Also fascinated by the repeated reference to Malay seafarers in 1920-1930s Northern Australia.
Which reminds me I still need to work on that paper on Malay seafarers. Right after I do the one on Bujang Valley.
Right after I get all the HIV work done.
Yeah right.

p/s what does it mean by 'the sweeping classic novel', I wonder.
