I've been wanting to read this book for years now, but the ridiculous TBR keeps me from reading it. There's a movie adaptation coming out soon directed by Martin Scorcese coming out that looks really decent, so I'll have to get around to reading it before it comes out.

Movie adaptations are always good motivations for me too. It's partially what convinced me to pick up this one (as well as finally put the audio version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo on my mp3 player).

this ad wonderstruck are both on my goodreads list. Must read Hugo before the movie comes out!

First off, yay for goodreads! That site is so addicting.

And you have about a month to read it, as the movie doesn't come out until 11/23.
