Books & Movies 2010
Same idea as last year, just trying to gather all the books I read and movies I watch this year in one entry. My rating system goes from 0 (complete waste of time) to 5 (work of genius) and * indicates a reread or rewatch.
Books
1. Charles Robert Maturin - Melmoth the Wanderer (4 - I'm writing a paper on this book and while it really drives me insane at times it's also a damned good Gothic novel!)
2. Tom Lanoye - Het derde huwelijk (2 - absolutely not impressed, even though he's praised as one of Belgium's best writers at the moment)
3. Sophie Kinsella - The Undomestic Goddess (3)
4. Sophie Kinsella - Remember Me? (3,5)
5. Stephen Clarke - A Year in the Merde (2)
6. Annelies Verbeke - Groener Gras (3)
7. Denise Mina - Field of Blood (3,5)
8. Penelope Lively - Going Back (3)
Movies
1. Familia Rodante (3,5)
2. Inglourious Basterds (4,5)
3. (500) Days of Summer (5)
4. Chasing Liberty (2 - incredibly cheesy but rescued just a little by Matthew Goode's gorgeous accent, he was basically the only thing that kept me from turning the TV off)
5. Revolutionary Road (4)
6. Veronica Guerin (3,5)
7. The Queen (4)
8. P.S. I Love You (3,5)
9. L'auberge espagnole (3,5) *
10. Les poupées russes (2,5)
11. The Young Victoria (4)
