Must be an American remake then Abulafia. Third one out already? wow. any good? Damnit I forget who posted just before this...but so you saw it too? It really didn't make too much sense, did it? I mean if you resign yourself to the fact that not everything will make sense, it's...

I just saw it tonight. It was pretty good, though hard to follow and not as scary as I would have hoped...scared my friends pretty bad though. It was a lot like the ring, and definately Japanese originally. Won't give it away though. Did you see the trailers for The Ring Two?

I noticed. I'm excited! Though there's so much to read, i'll never get it all done. I'll have to check out the other author you mentioned.

So 100 Years of Solitude is good? It's on my list. Wabbit, I feel like you do all the time (I'm to lazy to quote, but about finishing the book and feeling the energy of one hundred years that has just passed through your hands). It's amazing...sort of like coming back from another plane of...

Also maybe the A Series of Unfortunate Events series by Lemony Snicket? They might be a little too young, and they're kind of esoteric in a way, but I really loved them. And there are about nine of them, so if she likes one, there's inspiration to read more...

I'm just about done Anna Karenina (a tad tedious at times but good), and I'm going to go back to Love in the Time of Cholera which I put on hold for Anna Karenina.

Maybe The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares or Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging: Confessions of Georgia Nicolson by Louise Rennison? I've never read the Louise Rennison one, but it was pretty popular among the popular girl crowd when I was 14 or so. Sisterhood of the...

mmm Campbell's Tomato...the sad thing is it's a culinary challenge for me :o That and black bean soup when someone will cook for me. Delicious!

You visit Spain, but on a very important holiday commemmorating the Spanish Inquisition, and, mistaking you for the life-like robotic dummy ordered for the reenactment, the locals torture you to death. I wish I could cook.

Everyone was happy, but then the paper recanted your obituary and things fell back into their natural patterns. I wish the bottom layer of intellectual scum-on-the-earth could be scraped off and left to dry in the sun.

I detested this book...detested it. I suppose I would have only disliked it if I hadn't been forced to read it so many times. I read it of my own accord if first grade, and didn't like it, then was forced to read it again in second grade (with a teacher I detested, but that's a different story)...

Wow...it never even crossed my mind that Morgenstern might not be real...I searched all over the internet for where I might find a copy of the original...don't I feel silly now :o I remember planning on sending for "The Reunion Scene", but I'm not entirely sure that I ever procured a stamp...

That sounds a lot like The Giver , by Lois Lowry. I can't be sure, but here: From http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=5BEBTLB6UB&mscssid=NXQM31XM9R6S8JPU9HPDGA0CAFP3BWU0&isbn=0395645662 Not the best summary ever, but I think it's The Giver . Wish I could be of...

I love the smell of a book. New or old, there's just something great about it. Old smells best. I love holding a brand new book- it's mine, just mine, and I can go whereever I want with it, physically and mentally. I do love them when they're old though, be it secondhand or one of my own that...

Garden state was wonderful. Amazing cinematography starting with the first scene. Natalie Portman was great. She cried well (pet peeve started by Olivia Hussey in Franco Zeffirelli's version of Romeo and Juliet). Great writing by Zach Braff, and the message was really great. It focused on larger...

Same as mr michel about having read Love in the Time of Cholera. Every time I get started, something else comes up. Still was very excited when I read about the upcoming film. Particularly because it hadn't clicked in my head yet that the guy was still alive :o

I like Marquez. I would have to say my favorite is Chronicle of a Death Foretold, though I'm not entirely sure that fits into the category of Magical Realism. I'm planning on reading Love In the Time Of Cholera soon, I'm glad the general opinion seems to be that it's a good read.

That's how I got tuned in to Neruda too- inside an Isabel Allende book. Only that particulur one was My Invented Country and I can't remember the name of the poem. Driving me nuts. Anyone know?

A few months ago I read Isabel Allende's My Invented Country , and at the beginning of it there was a wonderful poem by Pablo Neruda. I've since returned the book to the library and forgotten the name and most of the words to the the poem. I can't find it online or in the only Neruda book I...
