I finished re-reading The Bridget Jones's diary. In Estonia they just started translating the Twilight books and sofar only Twilight and New Moon, have come out in Estonian. So, the Twilight-madness, has just got to Estonia. It's so weird, I mean I read the first book in 2007, but just now everyone have started talking about the NEW book called Twilight. Almost everyone in my class are crazy about Twilight and the other day a girl in mwas any class asked me if I had read Twilight and after she heard that I've read it a while ago and I have the other books as well, she started jumping. It's just so weird. I already have Breaking Dawn sitting in my shelf, but I haven't had the time to read it.

The Black Violin by Maxence Fermine. Really wonderful but also kind of haunting.

Twilight in Italian came out in 2006 and it was EVEN in the wrong section of the biggest bookstore of the city! I read what you guys said about it and I found weird that all copies of Twilight were in the adult/horror section...very very far from the YA section...that might be the reason why the Twilight-madness hadn't burst until Summer 2008 I recently finished His Dark Materials 1: Northern Light by Philip Pullman and The History Boys: a play by Alan Bennett. I liked both.

An Open Heart by the Dalai Lama, it was very good and full of useful insights.

Finished "New Moon" yesterday. I enjoyed it very much, but I can't say I liked it as much as "Twilight". It was still very entertaining, but all the stuff going on with Jacob seemed a little repetitive, I like the Bella-Edward storyline better. I'm almost glad I didn't like it as much though, that way I'll be able to wait for "Eclipse" to come out on paperback

I was depressed, I was crying, but I loved it!

I finished Prom, Titanic Warning, and Now and Zen. A lot of light reading to counter all the classics for school!
