-Hermione, I've not seen that version of Persuasion, but have watched that S&S so many times, Alan Rickman- yum! A Jane Austin kick is always good.
I'm finding Irrationality quite dry so Persuasion and Atonement are getting more of my attention.

Nicholas Sparks: Three Weeks With My Brother

gt0163c · 03-17-2008, 05:08 AM

I finished rereading C.S. Lewis' "Prince Caspian" last night. I didn't really remember the story and wanted a refresher before the movie comes out this summer.

Before that, I read "Bringing Down the House" by Ben Mezrich about the MIT students who formed a black jack team and won millions in various casinos. I didn't realize that there's a movie coming out about this story. But, after seeing the trailers, it looks like they too a few too many liberties with the story for my tastes.

Oh, and also this weekend I read the latest Buffy Season 8 and Serenity: Better Days comics.

Not sure what I'll pick up next.

I'm currently reading A New Earth: Awakening Your Life's Purpose by Eckhart Tolle as a very interesting lady at work loaned it to me. Um... also The Twelve Kingdoms by Fuyumi Ono. I have a stack of books that I need to tackle after that as well. I've been slack.

I love reading! Right now, I'm reading Earthly Pleasures by Karen Neches. I love it! It's about souls, heaven, afterlife and all that jazz. It's light and humorous.

I'm reading "Born to Buy" by Juliet Schor and "the Millionaire Mind" by Thomas Stanley

Just finished a collection of Jack Vance novels. "Dying Earth" series.

Switched gears totally last night but forgot to pay attention to the title! I'm horrible that way. This one is a strange book centered around a hurricane arriving in FL, some goofy, retired recluse governor abductor, criminals and police.... I'm maybe halfway through and its so funny I'm laughing out loud and my kid keeps saying "What???" like I'm laughing at him.

I just finished "The Millionaire Mind" last week. Thought the part about relationships/marriage to be especially interesting.

Picked up Tightwad Gazette + Automatic Wealth on Tuesday from the library. Just started AW last night, and haven't decided if it's as great for me, as it's been for others. Definitely seems like it's going to present new things/ideas/perspective to me, which's nice.

Goots-the Tightwad Gazette is great, but here's a hint, have little slips of paper or something to mark the pages that you want to remember. I got through and then had to go back and mark everything.

Yeah, the Millionaire Mind is great so far! I'm only about 20 pages in, so I will let you know what I think of it.

I just finished Persuasion by Jane Austen and it was sooooo good! I'm reading Emma now. The Jane Austen binge continues.
