I really like the movie, but the book is much more descriptive and things, it's actually my favorite book, it's my fav movie too though...

Jonestown: A great read that exposes a filthy man for all he is.

The Thunderbolt Kid- Bill Bryson

I'm only on the first few pages but so far it looks good. I threw out Mrs. Dolloway.

I'm reading that too, it's really good so far. I love Bill Bryson. I think it'll get funnier as he grows up.

I'm almost finished it, so I started Tom Jones. Ye Olde English is fun.

Kate, did you laugh as hard as I did at the part about model airplanes, on pages 98 and 99? God, I could barely get through it, trying to read it out loud to my boyfriend. We were both dying of laughter.

In the Bryson, I haven't gotten to it yet, I've kind of had to put it aside because of school and that, I wanna pick it up again soon though.

Does anybody read Gossip Girl?

They're not long, cost $15, do not challenge in any way...but they're soooooo good.

Anyways, I'm reading the third book right now and it's mint. It's like Sex and the City for 16-19 year olds.

I read the first one. They are kind of dumb.

Everyone who has ever enjoyed art in any facet should read Chaim Potok's My Name is Asher Lev
