Books I Read in 2008
Nance06/13/2009

Is Pride and Prejudice and Zombies good? The idea interested me, but when I read the article on wikipedia I think it's more a gimmick. It could have been any classic book with a paranormal thing... The book is not coming out in french yet, but since it's popular it will propably be and I will maybe take a look. Do you like it? Was it fun?

Faustess06/20/2009

It was fun, but depending it would probably wear thin for some readers. If it's possible to borrow from someone else, I'd probably do that. I'm not sorry I bought it, but I also won't feel bad about donating my copy to the library after my husband's finished reading it. I don't know if this helps or not. :)

Omnivore's Dilemma is choice. Don't worry you get past corn sooner or later.

Faustess08/05/2009

Yeah, the corn part was interesting, but very long. I'm just about finished - I'd recommend it to anyone! :D
