Just got through the first four chapters. Amazing so far. What did you think of it Plite? I know you've read it because you read a lot and it's about British people.

I thought it wuz shocking that Kazuo Ishiguro didnt win the Booker Prize for NEVER LET ME GO becuz it is brilliant. Ive always liked his books and NEVER LET ME GO might be better than REMAINS OF THE DAY. Haf you seen the movie? And ... umm .. I dont read books just becuz theres Brittys innit. Right now, I am reading THE STRAIN by Guillermo Del Toro which is about Americun vampire zombies whose tongues are outlandish.

Haven't seen the movie yet but it's on my Netflix wish list. I'll see anything with Keira Knightley in it.
I'm tired of vampires right now which is why I passed on The Strain. Ok, that's sort of a lie as I'm also re-reading Bram Stroker's Dracula at the moment because it's free on Kindle.
Del Toro's movies are great though - especially The Orphanage and Pan's Labrinth.

I dont normally read vampire novels which is why I bought THE STRAIN. Mucho discussion of vampire biology and some of the humans who were *turned* were both Sad & Horrific. And I already haf the sequel under the Chrisstmus tree! Brams DRACULA is a surprisingly good read, considering it wuz writtun in the 19th century. PANS LABYRINTH is my favourite Del Toro movie, and I thought that cruel captain (stepfather of heroine) wuz actually scarier than Hannibal Lecter.

Hey when did Scott get here? Have you always been in here just lurking? Helllooo~ I have been watching movies online lately. Free. You know the kind. Yesterday I watched Scott Pilgrim. I liked it a lot.
