I love books - not all books... mostly just the good ones; that is to say, the ones that I deem to be good. Ahem.
I love movies (ditto the above).

It's said that there's a finite number of books you can fit into your life. This concerns me. I've read a lot of not-so-great books. What if I've used up the reading-slots of really great... more »

    Hey!
    Well, the end of the prologue is a good start! Right? I have a theory that if you don't like a book after 50 pages then abandon it, but the cover theory makes some of my descisions too. You might want to at least reduce the number of figurines on you list, or put them in a room where you don't do a lot of reading so you won't be tempted to hurl the book in their direction.

    I know what you mean about the Twilight series. I'm way past the young adult books but I'm really happy that I read Twilight. I thought it was a fast paced, easy read. I enjoyed the movie as well and am looking forward to New Moon.

    I will have to check out The Host....bummer when it takes so long for the book to get going though.

    Hi. You are very welcome. Yes, the majority of the book was really good. I just thought the ending was somewhat stupid and didn't really seem to fit. It did make me want to take drastic violent action. I think the only thing that saved it was it was a Library book. But, as you say, your lack of Ming vases should make it safe. I hope you enjoy it.
