I finished reading Memoirs of a Geisha this week and I absolutely loved it. I highly recommend it. I haven't seen the movie yet, and I am prepared to be disappointed after the amazing book. However, even if the movie isn't as good as the book, it's sure to hold some delights, especially visual ones.

Now I'm reading The Ornament of the World by

actually, i was pleasantly surprised by the movie. it stuck closely enough to the book that it didn't feel traitorous to watch it. try it; i think you might like it.

i personally can't wait for the lovely bones, one of my very very very favorite books. plus, yanno, peter jackson is a genius and all.

Awesome. I'll probably move it up my Netflix queue a bit.

I HATE FICTION- except Geisha. That book was the most perfect example of nailing a voice I have ever seen and I loved it, loved it, loved it and the book really is unforgetable since I read it in 1998. Andrew Gold? Is that who wrote it? That book rocks.

Close. Arthur Golden.

I finished the book and I felt like smiling and laughing. I'd been on a wonderful journey. It was one of the best books I've ever read.
