Memoirs of a geisha.
I would probably give memoirs of a geisha a good solid 8. I loved it, it was beautifully written and totally addictive for me.

I enjoyed the Lovely Bones even though it didn't go the way I had expected it to. It is nice that books aren't always what you think they will be. I heard they were making a movie of the book. haven't seen a thing about it, maybe I missed it because I never ever go to the movies, I wait for the library to have it on DVD.

Hmmm...I hope if they are making a movie after the book, that they don't butcher it. Thats all to common in the world of book to movies.farmgirlshelley wrote:I enjoyed the Lovely Bones even though it didn't go the way I had expected it to.

Hey Bookworm, thanks for sharing your book lists. I'm always open for suggestions!
you said- "I hope if they are making a movie after the book, that they don't butcher it. Thats all to common in the world of book to movies. "...... Yes, I must agree with you-- but with ONE exception, after having seen the movie Forrest Gump, I found the book and thought it must be really good and that I'd find it worth reading...... sooooo NOT true. The book was absolutely horrible!!(IMO- anyway) Forrest Gump was a real "a" hole, a lot of the book was about his wrestling career and how phoney he had to be..... they sure improved the story by making it into a movie-- can you imagine that!!
Think I'd really like to read Memoirs of a Geisha... think I'll get me a copy.-- thanks
