Mansfield Park.

im reading Atonement by Ian McEwan
the movie (with Keira Knightley and James McAvoy) is coming out later this year

the storyline is quite interesting, but the plot moves quite slowly at the start - so far, not a bad read!

one of my most favorite books.

felt dreadful at the news of Keira Knightley playing Cecilia (obviously i'm not a KK fan). or is she playing Briony?

she's more of a Briony imo.

If It's Purple, Someone's Gonna Die: The Power of Color in Visual Storytelling by Patti Bellantoni

it outlines the use of colors in films to evoke certain emotions, moods, imagery, etc. my professor recommended it and i was getting a little tired reading fiction works for humanities classes. pretty good read, if a little less informative unless you've seen every single film discussed.

Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel
The random bits of information are amusing and add to the story.

Tact is for people who aren't witty enough to be sarcastic.

Fate is for the lazy.

My Lost and Found Life by Melodie Bowsher.

It's pretty interesting but I don't like the whole popular rich girl --> poor Cinderella. Too cliche.

Gave up on The Devil of Nanking.

The Night Dance by Suzanne Weyn, a retelling of the twelve sisters or something. It's an okay read.

finished twilight and... ties that bind, ties that break (YEA! i have too much time on my hands!), now reading the dark materials trilogy again... i can never get over it. its the greatest series in the world imo. i really hope the movie comes out soon.. and isnt a disappointment.

btw, edward was so hot in twilight. makes me squeal. im out to get the second one!

someone should read the.. dog in the nighttime or whatever its called, and tell me their opinions. i found it pretty interesting and good.. but everyone else thought it was crap. =[

^ the trailer for the movie is out

it looks quite good!!

And do you mean the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime (or sth like that

) ?
i found it rather odd.. but it was intriguing. LOL i remember my math teacher making us solve a math problem from the book - - and none of us managed to solve it (top-set maths btw =_=)

Seriously, everyone should read The Time Traveller's Wife. I was super sleepy but managed to stay up till 2am just to read it

Psh. If you guys think whatever you're reading is boring...
I'm reading the Odyssey. =.= Its part of my required reading for high school....I DON'T GET IT~~~~
OK, I do, but it's SO boring. It may be a classic, but all I want to read is Harry Potter. _ _

and yea! thats the one! with the weird prime number chapters. hahaha.

so i finished the trilogy... and i officially ran out of things to read. so maybe ill read the five people you meet in heaven again. or.. eragon. i hate eragon though, its such a boring book. i bought the eldest.. but i dont want to get around to reading it. =[ maybe i should read the abhorsen trilogy again. lmao. me and fantasy books. or, maybe i should stop reading for now. =\
