I'm pissed. For some reason, Hollywood is trying to make every book that I read and loved as a child into movie form, and they SUCK.

For a class assignment, I've been having to read news articles that take place in latin america and pertain to what we're talking about in class. In order to do this, I've subscribed to the New York Times and Washington Post daily emails, for the world section.
