Novel Time!

Finished The Prestige by Christopher Priest during finals. Made a lot more sense than the movie, though I did like the movie as well.

Also read Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Suskind, which was also made into a movie to be released in the U.S. after Christmas. Very interested to see how this book translates to the screen. Tom Tykwer of Run Lola Run directed.

On my list to tackle this holiday season:
The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks
Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke
Absalom, Absalom by William Faulkner
Waiting for Gertrude by Bill Richardson
Malinche by Laura Esquivel
Digging to America by Anne Tyler
Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier
Plain Heathen Mischief by Martin Clark

However, finals are over and therefore I feel less inclined to procrastinate by reading other things. We'll see.
