I recently read a book by Ben Elton (British Comedian, author, writer) "Dead Famous". This a dark humour style novel about the set up of a reality television show "House Arrest" (like Big Brother). Within the house there is a murder of a contestant (or as Elton refers to them "inmates"). And this is where we start the story with the Murder Investigation team lead by Chief Coleridge. He is left with the task of finding a culprit (or culprits) and the motive. This book is well written with Elton's intelligent wit and dark sense of humour to portray the main characters and does well to show different sides of their character.

I recommend it if you are into dark humour or like satire.

At the moment I'm reading 'Eleni' by Nicholas Gage (available in both Greek and English). It is the true story of a family living in Northern Greece and their experiences during World War II and what happened during the Civil War with the Antartes. Okay so you might think it's boring but it isnt!! It gives a really good account of how people lived during that time and explains in a way why alot of our parents moved to Australia. The living conditions in Greece were terrible and the political situation in Greece only seemed to get worse. There is a lot to learn from this book so I hope you enjoy!!!

sounds interesting yiota, might look for it...

Nicholas Cage the actor? sobara?

Na sou pw yiotaki mou, he did play in Captain Correli's Mandolin... Maybe that inspired him to right a novel based on Greece and WW1...

But then again i could be mistaken...

I'm planning on reading that also. I looked it up the other day & thought it sounded interesting, then the day after that my english teacher was talking to me about my name and she said that she had read a book called ELENI, it was funny because I was planning on buying the book that day, but she told me she had a copy & would bring it in for me, but she didn't actually have the book ELENI, she had the second book he had written though, and the third, which his daughter had written. Now i'm waiting for the book ELENI off a friend of mine, or will have to buy it because i'm dying to read it!

I've started to read his second book "A Place For Us" which is about his family and what they went through whilst all that stuff was going on with his mother, and when they moved to America and met his father for the first time & all that business. I also have the book his daughter, Eleni Gage, has written called "North Of Ithaka". Eleni's book is about A young journalist who leaves NY for the village of Lia, she goes to Lia to rebuld her yiayia's house. Restoring her yiayia's home is a way of laying the family's ghosts to rest & to explore / learn about her Greek side.

So far "A Place for Us" is a very good book, i'm really enjoying it. You don't need to have read "ELENI" to understand it or anything, which is good because I haven't got "ELENI" yet. It's also good because you understand a lot of what happened to our grandparent's & the stuff he is describing is somewhat like the stuff my yiayia would tell me... I guess we can relate to these books, which makes it much more interesting for us... Well for me anyways.
