I enjoyed the book a lot actually, and I'm looking forward to the movie as well.

Thank goodness for the winter break. I'm in the process of finishing five books right now:

Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell

Take Your Eye Off the Ball by Pat Kirwan

Sisterhood Interrupted: From Radical Women to Grrls Gone Wild by Deborah Siegel

Staying Alive: The 1970s and the Last Days of the Working Class by Jefferson Cowie

Seventies: The Sights, Sounds, and Ideas of a Brilliant Decade by Howard Sounes


With regard to the last two titles, these tie into my field of study. Or, I should say, will make up part of the research I'm conducting for my Master's thesis.
