For a Few Dollars More - Sergio Leone

We watched another Western last night.  Actually I slept for a good portion of it, but I still liked it.  It was the second Sergio Leone spaghetti western.  Excellent acting, great cinematography, score was awesome.  Story was not the best. 

The Elegance of the Hedgehog, Muriel Barbery

I should know better --- I've rarely liked books that are 'reading group favorites' and that's where this one was shelved in 3 bookstores

I read it because it was the book selected by the Paris Goodreads book club, and I really need social contact. 

I didnt care much for the translation, and although I enjoyed the first 50 pages, I thought the story got worse and worse as it went on.

2 movies not worth the 99c rental in iTunes

Embarrassing -- both were intended for the gym, but weren't even worth my time as I have better things to watch even at the gym...

Material Girls with Hilary Duff & her sister.... stupid stupid stupid

Van Wilder with some young cute teenage bad actor... stupid too, and vulgar... but funny a few times

Dancer, by Colum McCann

Read this through most of the IVF proceedings.  Finished it the day of retrieval.

I liked it, it was an insteresting mix between biography and novel.  Characters were great, writing was really smooth.

I'm BACK!

I stopped updating here for several months, but have decided to come back to it effective now (and I'll fill in from beginning of October). 

I liked keeping track of things.

I might do the simple versions without links and pictures to keep time down.
