I just read a movie summary and seeing that Harper Lee is represented in it I'll probably go and get the movie when it's out on DVD.
Thx for the tip.
I think the relationship of these two great authors is intriguing, considering "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "In Cold Blood" being two of the...
I havn't seen the movie 'cause Philip Seymour Hoffman playing Capote kinda freaks me out.
But now that I've read the book, watching the movie has become an interesting option.
I'm really looking forward to the "In Cold Blood" discussion next month.
Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights
I've never hated a character that vigorously. And a guy from a book who draws so much negative emotions from readers is just plain gorgeous. I takes guts to write a guy like him.
Esther Greenwood from The Bell Jar

I finished this book some days ago and I'm stilled kinda perplexed about the brilliant beginning and the insulting rest of this book.

The story is quiet poignant and depicts a rightous set of morals. Scrooge's character change from greedy to...

I read this book some months ago so the details are a bit blurry.
All in all I enjoyed it but nothing more. The tension building between Grit and Vermeer was beautifully described and there is the urge to finish the book to see how it all ends, but all in all there are too many little details...
