I keep my hair short. If I let it grow long, it would be a beautiful mass of wavy brown hair, but it would be too much work for me to keep up with it. I get it cut in a very short Halle Berry style. At the moment it is grown out a bit, my appointment is next week, but even so, I just wash and...

I also thought that part of it was that .

Oh, yes. I read Maus a few months ago, and it is one of those books that stay with you long after you have finished readnig it.

I'm afraid I must disagree with you statement Yet agree with Deciding the school curriculum is not for the feint of heart, my friend. And most teachers I know (and I know a few) bring more homework home than their students do. Most of the time, it is a matter of pleasing most of the...

Yup, I agree that Shawshank Redemption was as good a movie as it was a book, and pretty much the only one. I have a habit now of, when I see that a movie is coming out, and it looks like something I'd watch, I find out if it has been a book, then I read the book and may or may not watch the movie.

I remember him from Signs, and had a sneaking suspicion he was the guy reading the paper at the end of the Village, but still can't remember seieng him in Sixth Sense.

Its been a while since I saw the movie, but I'll give it my best shot. AT the beginning, when the newbie gets beaten by the guards, they added more to the illegal stuff Andy was doing for the warden, the kid that knew who really killed Andy's wife was killed instead of just getting...

There was a big arguement between Night and some of his people about whether or not to put in that scene. Some thought it would give it all away, some were sure peoiple wouldn't "get it". Most people, myself included, don't "get it". ANd I agree with leckert Jenn, I didn't see Night in...

The Shawshank Redemption was fairly faithful, but the movie had some added dramatic elements.

I've got more of the usual, housework, childcare, maybe a trip to the library. Keeping an eye in a hurricane in the Carribean :eek: BTW, I can see the summit of Mount Washmore, I may have it tamed by the weekend!

I saw all but Unbreakable. SS freaked me out, Signs was a good alien flick, and the Village had a good moral. Renee- I hate it when people spoil movies for me and I have been known to threaten my teenage nephews with bodily harm if they do such a thing.

Glad to see you are okay, Wabbit. I hope all our other London TBFers are okay, too. My thoughts and prayers are with all of England right now.

Story of my life! Have you seen my bathroom lately? I have Mount Washmore in there :eek: , courtesy of my girls "cleaning" their room.

Farenheit 451 was good, too. Look around the old threads, and the new ones as well, there are tons of suggestions. Don't limit yourself, though, you might be surprised at what you like, if you give different genres a chance.

I read The Vanished Man and really enjoyed it. It is part of a series with the main character of Lincoln Rhyme. I want to go back and get the first Rhyme book, The Bone Collector. I just have this thing about reading series from start to finish, in order. :rolleyes:

I just read 4th of July. It is fourth in a series, if you don't already know and if that is important to you. I read them in order, but each is its own story, you don't have to read them that way. I enjoyed it. I find that he is pretty mild, compared to, say, Jeffrey Deaver.

I've read David Sedaris's Naked and Dave Barry's Big Trouble. Both were funny. If I had to pick one, I'd say Big Trouble.

Sci-Fi- I don't read a whole lot of sci-fi, Stanislaw Lem and Nancy Farmer Horror- this, on the other hand, is a favorite genre of mine. I'd suggest Stephen King, but not all of his stuff is creepy, Laurell K. Hamilton, don't forget the classic authors, Bram Stoker, and Mary Shelley...

YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!
