So did I. I like the movie, but it was still distracting to keep thinking of the movie while reading the book.

'A Great and Terrible Beauty' - finally! I'm so darn slow with my books these days. I plan to start 'Rebel Angels' tonight and finish it in a much shorter time span, then move onto "New Moon" and still have time to re-read HP 5&6 before July 21st! Phew, i'm gonna be busy!

I know what you mean, it tooks me two days to decide which book read next. What did you read next? I decided on bang-bang, you´re dead by Muriel Spark. I went for a short story and I read The Snow Of Kilimanjaro by Hemingway

I just finished Housekeeping vs. the Dirt by Nick Hornby. I really liked it but I wish he could also include the books he didn't like.

Finished The Boy Who Loved Anne Frank by Ellen Feldman, at first I was a little disappointed because I did expect something more but then it really got better.

Whose panties are these? It's a collection of stories written by female travelers, really funny (and quite the appropriate thing to read on a plane!) I wanna read that too! It sounds really funny!

Finished Sense and Sensibility. I really like it. Maybe not as much as Pride and Prejudice, but definitely more than Emma. Now I want to read more Jane Austen.

I highly recommend Northanger Abbey to you, memccart. It's one of my favourite Austens.
I finished Goblet of Fire yesterday. Started reading it last Friday. Time flies when you're reading a good book...

I finished 3 books today, yay! I had a day off today so I decided to finish a few books that had been laying around for too long. First was a book by a Finnish poet Rax Rinnekangas, second was The Happy Prince and other stories by Oscar Wilde (which I loved!) and the third was Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.

Today I finished the Eyre Affair, and I really enjoyed it. So, I will soon begin the second book of the series. I don't like to read books that are in a series all right away. I like to read a different book in between.
