Movies:
41. The Runaways: Not bad, but Lita Ford kind of got shafted in the script. Also, Alia Shawkat was basically an extra, which is just criminal.
42. Prince of Persia: Fun action flick. Good to see that Donnie Darko can pull off action here.
43. City Island: Very funny movie. See it.
44. The A-Team: Exactly what I was hoping it would be.
45. Get

Definitely try another Discworld book--I'm guessing this was on the "avoid" list of your friend. I usually inhale these as tasty brain candy, but still haven't finished "Unseen Academicals" because it's choppy and hard to follow. I got it shortly after buying my Nook, and initially thought it was a formatting issue, in that Pratchett's chapter and scene breaks can be a bit odd, and I thought I was just having trouble with the e-reader format, but I haven't had that issue with anything else on the Nook, so I must conclude it's the book, not the reader. Try one of the oldies, like "The Light Fantastic," or "Soul Music" (which has the distinction of having my favorite Pratchett in-joke--the dwarf band calling itself "We're Certainly Dwarves").
