Kiki, have you seen the film yet? |
No I havent! I watched about 15mins of it online but it was really bad quality. None of my female friends would go and Gordon certainly wouldnt...grr! I'll rent it!
Do you watch Ugly Betty? I think it's so funny that her necklace is like...identical!

Yes, I do watch Ugly Betty! Is the second series going to finish, 'cos I'm sure I haven't seen anything new going on and wasn't there a writers strike? I have no idea what's going on in telelvision... I actually didn't notice the necklace thing, but it's so true!

| I'm reading Sofies Verden by Jostein Gaarder, a norwegian writer.
It's something like the "history of the philosophy", related to Sofies, by a strange professor.. in order to make it more funny or less boring.
I like it and i saw the movie before... i totally recommend it

| I just read In the Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez. It was an interesting insight into the life of the people from the Dominican Republic, who for about thirty years, lived under the treacherous dictator Trujillo. The story was focused on the Mirabal sisters- their lives, how they got involved in the revolution, etc. I would recommend it for anyone particularly interested in politics, but I personally didn't like it. It was wayyyy dragged out. And hard to get into.

| just finished slaughterhouse 5. love it. amazing. completely not what i expected but it was so good. i really like vonneguts style of writing.
started Murakami's wind-up bird chronicles last week but i borrowed twilight from a friend to see what all the fuss is about and have gotten caught up in it.
im stuck between enjoying the sense of writing as it seems to be...well like her thoughts and its nice but also its just that her writing isn't fabulous.

| We started reading Catcher in the Rye for English, if that counts.
And Kendra, I thought my family was the only one in the world who knew that book existed! Haha we have a copy somewhere but I have yet to read it.
And the movie of The Other Boleyn Girl was really good. I didn't read the book but my parents were watching the movie one time so I kind of just watched the entire thing haha. Natalie Portman = so hot. Just saying. |

| lol currently reading...NEW MOON!
Finished Twilight this morning, after starting it...Saturday night?! teehee. I saw them on 3 for 2 in the book shop so I went in and bought them as I didn't know when I'd see my friend to borrow them again.
I LOVE Catcher in the Rye. Yum.
I bought Crime & Punishment and am planning on reading that after the Stephanie Meyers stuff.
Also want to read the Master and the Margarita.
if anyone else is on goodreads then add me

| The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. I'm one chapter in, and its sort of odd. Not bad though.
