Home: 50 First Dates - great movie; funny and a good escape Theatre: The Departed - unless you really like blood, guts, and gore, avoid this one.

Not me, that's for sure :p :cool:

I went to see the newest Matt Damon movie, The Departed, about two weeks ago (the night before my grandpa passed away) and really didn't like it. Unless you really like to see people's brains get blown out, forgo the hassle of the price of a ticket and see something else if you can.

I have re-read a bunch of books; sometimes it was because I really wanted to read that book again or was because I had forgotten what happened (happened with the Harry Potter books) before reading the later books in a series.

Chapters that are longer than 20 pages or chapters that don't have a lot of breaks for one to be able to switch to something else. I developed this habit when I was in university, the result of reading of articles that were sometimes 30+ pages, even when the pages were put together on one side...

Due to the need to get out of the house, I finally bought a copy of "The Time Traveler's Wife". In other words, I was feeling anxious and felt the need to splurge, to a degree.

I was just wondering what people thought of sports biographies, books about a particular sporting event, etc. Personally I like them; allow me to get a break from the somewhat "heavy" novels that I tend to read. Would like to know what you guys think. If I have stepped on somebody else's...

Either at Coles/Chapters or a local used book store.

Some places I know you have to pay between $50-100 if you don't live within a certain region/city. Some have actually teemed up to form systems where if you have a library card with one system, you can get one with another library system for free. For example, I live in the Fraser Valley...

No, she's not. First of all, Sophie Kinsella is her psuedom (I know it's spelled wrong, but I hope you get the drift). Secondly, even if it was her real name, it would be unlikely that they would be related. Even so, it would be neat to see that.

All Quiet on the Western Front. I had read the book for my senior English class back in high school and the teacher had managed to make me dread the book due to the stupid questions that he had forced us to answer and everybody in the class loathed the book as a result. About a year later, I...

Well, my reciept says that I got both the 30% and the 10% iRewards off the sticker price. And I know what the cost was before taxes when I got their magazine in the mail the other day. It also told me how much I saved when I purchased the book: $13.20 off the $32.99 sticker price.

W.P. Kinsella lives 20 mintues down the highway from the town where I live in a town called Chilliwack, BC. Don't know where he lives exactly, but I do know that he lives there because of the editorial that he writes in The [Vancouver] Province on a weekly basis.
