Really long, sporadically interesting

This no-LJ stuff sucks when I actually have to be at my desk all day long. Havoc is being wreaked without me, I can feel it! I hear rumors of brilliant fannish rambles and people who may need bitch-slapping, and yet I can see none of it! Thank goodness for liptorm, who planted all sorts of cracky ideas in my head and encouraged the care and keeping of

Wait, Atonement like the McEwan novel? I am so seeing that.

[hiyacynth]

Yes, yes, that's it! I haven't read the novel, but I remember seeing the name and "adapted from the novel by" and then speculation on whom Judi Dench might play.

Apparently I need to read this book?

I'm always wary of recommending it, because it seems like everyone who reads it either loves it or hates it--so recs are a crapshoot. But yeah, I really liked it, and it'd be worth looking into.

I'll give it a go. Promise not to hold a grudge if I fall into the "hate it" group.

Finished it last night. I definitely fall in the Like It camp. Thanks for the rec! Am now very excited to see Mr. Tumnus, Paratrooper as Robbie.
