But only 9 because of school. I feel slightly more literate now.

Off to see "Down With Love." Ewan McGregor and Renee Zellwegger, how could it go wrong? And I need a break from my uber-geekitude.

I have read five of those. I blame it on Stephen King only having one on the list.

Heh. Yeah, that kind of surprised me. And I was expecting some Grisham to be on there, too.

Incidentally, if you want an LJ, I have a shitload of homeless codes. Just drop me a line. ;)

Oh my. 23.... Only 23?!? Seriously... I thought I was a book lover. But 23? Out of a 100? That just sucks. Maybe I'm just reading the wrong stuff... Although, I'm sure the number will go up once I actually get some time. I own like... probably 50 of the books on there, but just haven't gotten around to reading them! :)

How was the movie, by the way? I really want to see it... lately, the movies have been sorta crappy. Finally some Ewan!

I thought I was a book lover.
Yeah, me too. I've been reading pretty much nonstop since I learned how. Guess my tastes aren't "popular" enough. Bah. ::returns to her pile of Tom Clancy::

The movie kicks much ass. It's hilarious! See it. Now. Drool over the Ewan, you know you want to...

i SO do. *grin* ewan.... *oggle*

but yeah, i suppose i have been missing out on some stuff, but i don't think "popularity" has ever determined whether a book was great or not. for example, although i think harry potter is extremely cute and a fun read, i doubt that it really should rank as literature in the sense that literature changes and evalutes your perception of the world. so, *raspberries* to BBC.
