(Also, uh, the diary of Anne Frank? When did that ever stop being required reading?)


I don't know, but I have read it. ....although it was one of the less interesting holocaust books I've read *ducks thrown things*

42.Atonement – Ian McEwan. Does watching the movie count?
And watching the movie made me never want to read the book.


Did you really not like the movie?

I really need to attempt Jane Austen again sometime. I tried a while back and hated Sense and Sensibility, but I may have been too young for it.

Honestly, I am really pleased with myself that I picked up Emma just because when I was quite young. I believe I finished it, although I missed SO MUCH and remember SO LITTLE of the actual book. I'm watching a really great adaptation at the moment, though.

And it's kinda like beating your head through a brick wall of extremely wordy prose.

That sounds so unappealing. Does he have short story that I could read just to say I've read Proust?
