Surfing Goliath

I have recently started reading a novel called surfing goliath. It is about a group of friends who enjoy body boarding and aim to surf a big wave that comes every three year called goliath hence the name surfing goliath.

Ben Player, 2005 World Bodyboarding Champion states that surfing goliath is a true representation of what it is like to be a bodyboarder... the comeraderie, sense of being at one with nature, realising one's goals despite the obstacles.

Seal and his mates live in the remote coastal town of browns beach. Seal lives for the thrill of bodyboarding. seal's mate angelo lives for fishingespecially the danger of shark fishing. At the moment in the novel the group has been getting extra training sessions in to practice for the big waves that are only a couple of weeks away they go to the beach every day after school to get some extra practice.

I am enjoying this novel a lot because it is about sport and i enjoy sports novels a lot i can't get my head out of this noval at the moment its only a fairly short novel but it is an enjoyable one.

cheers. =]

DIARY VS BLOG

People would rather do a blogger than a diary because with a blog you can get peoples personal oppinions on your work, and they can support you to keep on wrighting if you have written a good starting to a story.

However diary is really a recollection of your day that you write, you usually write an entry every day or week. A blog is more like a recolection on a piece of work that you have written, or the actual piece of wrighting, this is viewed by many people for encouragement or help like were to go next.

Short Story #1

DOING THE DOUBLE by Alan Durant

This book is about twins, and the sons of a fallen football legend, Nicky Green. They've always laughed about doing the double (swapping identities for the day) but it has always been a joke before...

In this story they actually do it and they are serious about it. Dale wants joe to take his place on the football(soccer) pitch and do the double for real due to his brother being injured and not being to play the next match.

This is a good book for people who enjoy a short action packed sports novel especially if they like soccer. this is a great short story for people of all ages.

Myself As A Reader

Hey, my name is stefdog #19.

I am a steady medium paced reader who enjoys reading sports novels. I find it hard to concentrate on reading for long periods of time outside of the class due to being distracted easily and going of to do other more enjoyable things. My favourite time of day to read for homework is before I go to bed.
When I find a decent novel about sports I find it easy to read probably due to it being enjoyable and I get stuck into the book and can't get my head out of it.
