Persepolis

As per my usual Thursday night, I just got back from the MUN cinema series with my dad. This weeks movie was Persepolis, a French animated movie based on the 2-volume graphic novels by Marjane Satrapi. It is autobiographical, starting in 1978 and the Islamic revolution that changed her country. Coming out I thought it was an interesting companion to go with Veil of Roses. This goes more into the revolution and sheds some light on why the mother may have wanted to return to Iran from the United States. If you have a chance go see this film or sent it, it is well worth your time.

I just finished 'Love Walked In' and I laughed and cried - teared up really but still - and can't wait to talk about it. Good choice, Krista

Book Choice?

I guess that I should figure out my book choice, as I am the choice after Sarah, and I want to give everyone plenty of time to buy it. So I have a choice for all you to make. If someone has already read any of the ones I list, tell me. I want this to be one that no one has read yet... If you have a preference, tell me.

1) The Jane Austen Book Club (By Karen Joy Fowler)
2) Eat Pray Love (By Elizabeth Gilbert)
3) The Almost Moon (By Alice Sebold)
4) The Chocolate Lovers' Diet (By Carole Matthews)
5) A Complicated Kindness (By Miriam Toews)
6) Alice, I Think (By Susan Juby)

I know this is a lot of choices, but I own them all and am eager to read them. So give me your opinions and I'll let you know what I finally choose. :-)

Finally!

nevermind Krista, I got 'Love Walked In' today at Chapters but it was sure hard to find. I'll start it tonight or tomorrow on the bus and hopefully will be done by next week.

I'm Done!

Hi all. Just to let everyone know, I finished the book a couple days ago. How far is everyone else at this point?

Oh and I updated the picture

Next book musing

Well as I told you at the potluck my book choice this time around is Love Walked In by Marisa De Los Santos. Hope you all got the book. I am sorry that I didn't post it sooner but my computer at home doesn't have the link bookmarked and I forgot it.
On the up side I have started the book and thanks today 6 hours at the help desk I have most of the book read. All I will say is that you are in for some twists and turns, I gasped at one point.
We well pick a date later on when I get some response back.

Enjoy the book!!!!
