I got interested in the Hunger G...Thank you Dolly,<br /><br />I got interested in the Hunger Games books when you posted about them saying they're written in the present tense. Being one of the (few, apparently) fans of this writing style I checked them out and I think they're wonderfully written. I still don't know how the story ends though, as I haven't read the last one yet.<br /><br />No offence meant to Jules Verne's great imagination, not at all, it's just that at ten I couldn't place him in a moment in time and understand why so many of his books became classics. I was given the book without any prior introduction to the author and it simply didn't work.<br /><br />I've realised that Little Women has way more fans than I ever thought!<br />But like you say, that's personal taste, and as long as we can all find something we love to read, I'm not complaining. :)<br /><br />As for Fight Club, well the movie is good but of course... The book is better! That said, I have to admit I fall short of good reasons not to re-watch a movie with Brad Pitt... ;)Michelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10969386895414417775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828727132315088852.post-66369458954719895292012-01-28T13:49:26.879+00:002012-01-28T13:49:26.879+00:00Michela,
Thank you for participating, and giving ...Michela,<br /><br />Thank you for participating, and giving us a peek into your bookshelf.<br /><br />I'm thinking about reading Hunger Games trilogy again sometime this year, just to see how I feel about it, now that initial rush of first reading has gone.<br /><br />It's interesting what you said about Jules Vern. I admire him a lot - because even though his book do not match with today's science, the times he wrote in, his imagine exceeded anything that was available.<br /><br />I also love Little Women :-) <br /><br />I have watched the movie Fight Club once, and I might watch it again to give it another try, but I doubt I could come to love it as you do. But hey, that's why we are all different.Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144739453424963436noreply@blogger.com
