[Mrs.Winchester]

Memoirs of a Geisha. i dont know what to say about this book. its a beautiful book, i like it, but something about it pisses me off, i think its the fact that women back then did everything possible to make the men feel good, even when it made the geisha feel like crap.. its too soon for me to say how much i like it, i have like 40 pages left. ^O^

lol ur going to be bored i can't readless reading tale of two cities.

goodness half the english dept in my school is reading that book, they say its really great, while i got stuck with freaking Grapes of Wrath, LIFE IS NOT FAIR!!. but it makes me feel soo good to see poeple sitting in the library falling asleep whilebeing forced to read that crap book. hahahaha

WHOA, wiat what book did you love????!! hopefully you meant memoirs of a geisha, cause Grapes of Wrath made me feel like i was dying a very SLOW death, lol. but Memoirs of A geisha. seems too real becuase of the way its written which is really astonishing, even tho its ficiton !!, bittersweet is a word i would use to describe it.

[suezin]

^ Oh yeah. I loved Memoirs of a Geisha. Very good book.

Right now I'm reading We Were The Mulvaneys by Joyce Carol Oates. It's actually pretty boring so far.
