It has won some awards...but maybe not the BIG awards because its YA fiction? I don't know how that all works.<BR/><BR/>*Bookgal - Time Traveler's Wife is one of my favorites. I'm interested to see what they will do with the movie--although I'm not sure I'll see it. I didn't see The Kite Runner because I liked the book so much.<BR/><BR/>*Nymeth - Yes, I think you would really enjoy both of them. <BR/><BR/>*3M - Great news!

Is it not depressing enough, you think? I mean, it's sad but each of the characters -- well, most of them are so perfectly, believably human. <BR/><BR/>Oh, dear. Howard's End was that bad? Darn. I've been hoping to get to that one, soon.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-18736794094987620142008-02-07T13:00:00.000-06:002008-02-07T13:00:00.000-06:00*Literary Feline - not sure which books are which,...*Literary Feline - not sure which books are which, but I hope you like all of them when you get to them. :) My friends think I'm crazy when I say, I'll read that book, but not this year. I'm surprised W&P has French rather than Russian, but I think I come across French more than any other language. <BR/><BR/>*I love Heathcliff--just as I love that book.

Don't you wish you could reform him and allow him to be the Heathcliffe he only showed to Kathy on the moores?

French would be a good language to be able to read, I agree.<BR/><BR/>Two of the books on your reread each year list are ones I hope to get to this year (fingers crossed!) and the other two I hope to read someday in the future, just maybe not this year. :-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.com
