Stardust - Neil Gaiman

Dec 28, 2009 23:01

Kinokuniya was having a one day 20% off sale yesterday and I happened to be in the area with time to kill, so I naturally gravitated to the bookstore. My wallet was open the moment I saw the poster advertising the sale. xDD I bought Twitterature, Jostein Gaardner's Through a Glass Darkly, and Neil Gaiman's Stardust ( Read more... )

tl;dr is by definition too long; didn't READ...so how do you know what kind of material it was?

as long as it inspired you to go read the book it did its job...because neil gaiman is a god, i swear.

on the other hand, i got a note from my editor at the article thing i write for that said i do 'excellent work' and 'should make a good addition to the team'! this makes me happy. and also said i have no grammar or spelling mistakes, but that's really to be expected. :D :D

i've wanted to read the book since the movie came out but never found the time/book. mmmmmmm borrow, perhaps?

yay excellent work! can't say i'm surprised at the no grammar or spelling mistakes. tell me when your editor *does* find a grammar/spelling mistake.

i would like to watch dorian gray just to compare it to the book. i really don't think ben barnes is *that* good looking.

yes you do.

oh, i think its a really poor adaptation of the book. not that i've read it, i just read the summary on wiki. but its not that faithful to it.

let's just say it was relevant to my interests.

i'd say. a movie about a really good looking evil guy who trades his soul to remain good looking for the rest of his life. hmmmmm....

and ugh, maybe not then.
