I had intended to do more posts over my time off, but failed miserably. So I'll start with what I read, and what I'm reading!
Friday I read Zen Attitude, the second book in the Rei Shimura Series & Shinju, which is the first book in the Sano Ichiro Series. Both were Christmas pressies from Jen, and both were great! I'm looking forward to reading the next in both series! She also got me The Honest Courtesan, but I haven't read it yet. Will give a full report when I do!
Yesterday, I read The Ghost & Mrs. Muir. The movie is probably one of my favorite films, and I've been wanting to read the novel it was based on for some time. Just like the movie, the book had me crying by the end! And good news on the DVD front! It's coming out on DVD in the spring!! If you like old movies, and haven't seen this one, I can't reccomend it enough. If all you ever saw was the old TV series based on the movie, don't let that keep you from seeing the film. The series and the movie are apples and oranges. Rex Harrison is perfect and Gene Tierney is luminous. I never tire of watching it.
In between all the books I've read, I'm still working on Carnage & Culture and I'm almost through J.R.R. Tolkien: Author of the Century. If you're a Tolkien fan, go read this book! I'll post more about it once I've finished.
I think that covers my holiday reading activity. I'd hoped to read more, but being social just ruined my groove!
