Half of a Yellow Sun

I just finished reading the greatest work of fiction I have ever read, simply breathtaking. I ordered the book Half of a Yellow Sun and it arrived on Thursday, so I got down to reading it, I simply could not put it down, I stayed up all night reading the book, I don't want to give too much of the plot away because I want everybody to read and enjoy the book. It's about Love and War, or Love in War. The book is set around and during the Nigerian Civil War (Biafran War)
The author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie writes so beautifully (I have to get her previous book- Purple Hibiscus) I'll keep my eye out for further books.
The were moments when reading the book that I gasped and shouted insults at the characters, such was the intensity of the writing that you feel totally engaged with the characters.
I don't want to spoil it for you but...I was very very very very sad at the end...partially because it's a sad and unexpected end, and also because well, becuase it was the end of a great novel.
(Now I'm back to boredom)

Back Again

Yes I am back (although I never really left) I am currently chilling at home, deservedly after a long hard semester. Anyway, lately I have been really bored, facebook and wikipedia temporarily relieve the boredom but it's always there. I tried writing a novel but the most I did was outline the plot and name the characters, I haven't (and probably will not) started the novel yet.
The football (Euro 2008) was a good boredom reliever, so was the amazing Wimbledon Championships- Wimbledon was so good this year and culminated in a trilling men's final.
However ever since Wimbledon ended it has been a constant search for something to engage myself in, I am due to teach my little brother how to ride a bike (that should be fun) - Mind you when I say little I mean he is younger than me, 14 ain't exactly little, and at 14 he should be able to ride a bike.
I just ordered a novel- "Half of a Yellow Sun" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, a Nigerian author, the book is set in Biafra during the Nigerian Civil War, I have heard great things about the author and the book so it should be a great read.
I'll hopefully find something to get my teeth into to relieve this boredom, but hey I'm happy I can be bored, it means there's nothing to do, if boredom is the price of hardwork, then bored I'll be!
