Books! *bounces* Yay!

That's hilarious--the first two on your list are two I'm reading right now. I saw the BBC miniseries of North and South and it was amazing so I'm reading it now. And I'm reading Atonement so I can see it before the movie.

Have you ever read any Douglas Adams before? His books are very fun. And I've wanted to read The Painted Veil ever since I saw the movie.

And you can never go wrong with Emily Bronte or anything by Dostoyevsky.

Happy reading!

Haha, really? I'm reading Atonement for the same reason, and pretty much for North and South, too--I watched the miniseries a year or two ago, loved it, and impulsively bought it the other day when I spotted a copy.

I started in a little of The Hitchhiker's Guide last night, and enjoyed it, but otherwise I'd only seen the movie. The Painted Veil--I saw the movie, too, and really liked it. The book looks good so far, though I admit I peeked at a few parts and was a little disappointed. But I'm putting judgement off until I've read the whole thing, or at least started from the start :p

I read Wuthering Heights a long while back and loved it--hence rummaging around in Chapters' bargain classic books.

:D

Well, let me know if The Painted Veil is worth reading, will you? The movie was lovely.

I actually just read Wuthering Heights this past semester for class and loved it, too. It's so unexpected for this really shy country girl to have written. I love that about it.

omgomg can i borrow atonement and time traveller's wife and crime and punishment when you're done?

[moonlightrick]

Eek, first: I just checked my inbox--thanks so much for the paid account/icons :D I am happily planning to overload my icon number as I type.

Second: Of course you can. I'll try to finish Atonement up by Friday night--I'm in the middle of it at the moment--but Time Traveller's Wife and Crime and Punishment are for-Friday-sure. I have so many other books, I can hold off on them for a few weeks :)

*now: off to play with paid account :D*

[gemme]

np! don't you get so used to having a paid account that it drives you insane when you lose it? :P now at least you have 2 more months of leeway before you really have to start panicking!

xD i only need one or two for friday, i have tons of books to read this winter break as well...its ridiculous actually!

:D
