Don't get me wrong, the movie on its own was fascinating, (how could anything with Orlando Bloom in it not be : )YUM!) but compared to the Epic, fell wayyy short, so i felt it time to revisit.

    Suzie...I avoided the Mitford series for a long time because I thought it would be too "syrupy" for me. I like thrillers and scary stuff. So I was very surprised at how much I liked them. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

    I am reading Mansfield Park for the book club. I am thrilled because it is one of 2 J. Austen books that I have not read yet.

    Carry on!

    And I did get your meaning, I just willfully misinterpret everything.

    I just finished Moby Dick about two hours ago, and I need to get back to Fast Food Nation. Next week, during my spring break, I will start reading DisneyWar. I'm excited about Eisner bashing. One of the world's best hobbies, IMO.

    I used to read about 3 books a week. Always completely finishing one before starting another.

I even find myself playing handheld Yahtzee and Solitaire games while watching tv now... WHEN did I become my mother?????

    Before that I was reading "why men cant do two things at once and women cant read maps" or something like that. That is a real good read. Eye opening too.
