Weird. I don't think we had any compulsory reading in high school. I mean, we read books obviously, but we were always given a few options to choose from, so you'd at least in theory could avoid the dreariest books. That said, I liked most of the books I read, except for Death In Venice. And Suuri Illusioni. Those were terrible.

One of the mandatory Malay books I had to read was a novel where the protagonist's mother dies of a heart attack literally moments after waking up from a coma... because the protagonist's father (a college lecturer) had married one of his students without divorcing her and inadvertently revealed it to her upon her waking up.

The English mandatory reading was of decidedly higher quality and was much more tolerable.

I have disagreed with her a lot, but comparing her to republicans and propagandists of dictatorships is really low. - An idiot

I am one of the last birthdays of the school year (June 8), so I watch almost all my classmate's birthdays go before it's my turn.
... Uh?
So school years end in June overseas?

I always thought those ended in November/December and started in January.

Anyway, I turned 13 in 2009 (which was the year I was in seventh grade), and am currently 19.

Then I could be a truly radical Muslim.

Why is it that people spend $60 on games that haven't a plot and are basically just 8 gameplay hours of Scenery Porn and guns?

[up][up] Presumably because they like pretty scenery and shooting games.

Rhythm Thief has a barebones cookie-cutter plot, but damned if I haven't spent hours enjoying the minigames.

I'm bringing the boys with this delicious banana milkshake that I'm making.

Is it as warm down there as it is up here?

It is currently 15 and sunny, with 61% humidity, making it feel much... much... warmer.

Ooft, we're 18 and 46%. Enough to keep most of the windows and doors open.

The downside, of course, being that I can hear bees and/or wasps flying around the house.
