Hm... Has anyone noticed that I've been pretty quiet on the boards the last couple hours? That's 'cause I've been reading Harry Potter for most of them.
Oooh, look we got Melisma all distracted!
I loved the film The Green Mile, sobbed my heart out, but have never read any of Stephan Kings books. I'm trying to remember, did he also write Shawshank Redemption? I *love* the film, but again have never read the book (
very unusual for me!).
After seeing Pam's summary of
The Westing Game, I may have to go and find it, it sounds great!
Another book I've read, but not seen mentioned, is
Sophie's World. It was a good book, though heavy going in parts. I enjoyed reading the philosophy parts, tho that was generally the bit that slowed me down - for some reason non - fiction just doesn't hold my attention.
The ending was a little... odd/unusual. You had to be paying attention for it to make sense, and even then it didn't make
much sense!
