These books which I read...
A few days without a new thing on my Livejournal because I was gone in holidays. Now I'm back, I'm going to talk of what I read when I was lost without a computer or a Internet connexion!! So I read two books totally differents : "Angel Time" by Anne Rice and "An Education" by Nick Hornby. The first one is a fantastic novel and the second a scenario. I feel disappointed by Angel Time, because Anne Rice accustomed me of great beautiful stories but the theme of this one is just questions of redemption, mercy... Franckly that was a little boring ! Even the time travel in the Middle Age wasn't enough interesting. I think I'll only read her Vampires Chronicles!
On the other hand, An Education was really awesome!! That was the first time I read a scenario. Here is a short summary :
In the early 1960's, sixteen year old Jenny Mellor lives with her parents in the London suburb of Twickenham. On her father's wishes, everything that Jenny does is in the sole pursuit of being accepted into Oxford, as he wants her to have a better life than he. Jenny is bright, pretty, hard working but also naturally gifted. The only problems her father may perceive in her life is her issue with learning Latin, and her dating a boy named Graham, who is nice but socially awkward. Jenny's life changes after she meets David Goldman, a man over twice her age. David goes out of his way to show Jenny and her family that his interest in her is not improper and that he wants solely to expose her to cultural activities which she enjoys. Jenny quickly gets accustomed to the life to which David and his constant companions, Danny and Helen, have shown her, and Jenny and David's relationship does move into becoming a romantic one. However, Jenny slowly learns more about David, and by association Danny and Helen, and specifically how they make their money. Jenny has to decide if what she learns about them and leading such a life is worth forgoing her plans of higher eduction at Oxford.

I would like to watch the movie ! Carey Mulligan plays Jenny and there are so many talended actors (like Emma Thompson and Alfred Molina). At last I'm going to watch a new Doctor Who episode. I have to catch up my delay!
