Does anyone here read Austen? Has anyone?
I recommend it. In love with this book. |

I read this last week for an assignment, and while at first, the Southern dialect slightly annoyed me, I grew to enjoy it. What really got me, though, were the last three chapters. Didn't think that I would, but I really loved that book.

Darkness, Take My Hand by Dennis LeHane
Follwing up on this series, book 2. Pretty engaging so far, as much as I loved the first, I can't see anything bad coming of this.

^ I still don't understand why they had to change the title of the book for American audiences.
Anyway I just read this... I thought it was going to be some pissy chick lit but it was actually really, really good. It's up there with some of my favourite books of all time, and it will take a lot to knock it off. It really affected me in a kinda profound way for some reason. The movie was terrible, though. |
