GREAT book. They made it into a movie, but I haven't seen it yet. I heard it was good.
I just started rereading the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I forgot how short they were.

I saw the movie yesterday with my dad and stepmom, and I said I like the book better (because, you know, they left out the part about *minor spoilage* the three religious leaders meeting and arguing over Piscine's religion and also the part about when Piscine meets another person except PISCINE WAS BLIND SO IN THE BOOK THERE IS NO IMAGERY *minor spoilage over* and that really bugged me. And my dad was saying "but it can't be as vivid" and he was pointing out that all these things didn't make sense and I was saying that that was either not meant to be explained or that it explained it in the book. My dad is kind of pro movie, because he didn't really like the Hunger Games but wanted to find out whether the Capital was overthrown or not, and I said he should read Catching Fire and Mockingjay, and he said he would wait until the movie came out (because my stepmom and I are both fans of the books). I can convince the stepmom to read books a lot easier than I can with my dad (although he liked The Fault In Our Stars). He also wants me to read a book of his choice, and often they're grownup books that I'm probably going to have to read for school later in life.
&mpersand!

The movie was... intense. Not very close to the book, some scenes were very gruesome. I felt odd afterwards.

I started reading The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy the other day. Quite good, actually.

Ender's Game. I'm too lazy to find the author. My dad got it for me for Christmas, and it's definitely not the kind of book I'd usually pick up or read, but I do like it.

I love Ender's Game (The author's Orson Scott Card, in case you were wondering). It's my dad's like favorite book ever.
I just finished Then There Were Five, which is awesome and part of an awesome series about a family called the Melendys, and I love it because it's not like saving the world or huge crisis or whatever, but instead is just a book about the lives of four children. It's a lot better than I'm making it sound. Also I read The Fault in Our Stars, after much pressure from my friend who thinks that John Green and Douglas Adams (Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy) are the saving grace of modern literature. I only read it because I'd just gotten my wisdom teeth out and I was in bed for two days. It was good.

John Green and Douglas Adams ARE the saving grace of modern literature. I feel like I've read a book about the Melendys, although I know it's not Then There Were Five and I can't think what it could have been. The Fault in Our Stars is my favorite of John Green's, then Looking for Alaska, then An Abundance of Katherines and then Paper Towns. I haven't read Will Grayson, Will Grayson or Let it Snow or This is Not Tom yet. And I would have read Zombicorn and The War for Banks Island already, if I actually wanted to print out the book and assemble a copy myself.
Nyarsh, geeking out over John Green.
I'm also kind of reading The Rough Guide to Unexplained Phenomena. It's really neat, there are all these pictures of cats with wings and other strange stuff.
I can only see three of spamster's letters. He sayeth hey.
