I just finished the book Battle Royale it is supposed to be a YA(young adult) book, but I feel YA at heart and I tend to read quite a few books labeled YA. I find it humorous that many of the reviews talk about how violent it is. Maybe I am overexposed or knew going in reading a book about a battle to the end might have a little killing in it. I'm guessing the magna version with comic pictures may be more gratutious, but I read the original version. I also read about how great/violent/interesting the movie was and I actually sat and watched it in 10 minute segments on you tube. I thought it was pretty cheesey, a lot of fake blood, but nothing that would give me nightmares and I am not a horror fan. I'm a little worried that either the reviewers are sissies or I am going psycho.
I am almost done cruising through The Reader. Not my favorite and it falls in a subject I normally enjoy, WWII not Mrs. Robinson sex. But I will plow through the last few chapters to just finish it. I'd like to see the movie since I like Kate Winslet and she did win an Oscar.
I have a huge list of "to reads" on good reads, hopefully I can pick up a couple somewhere in the next couple days. I have to go through my stash and post some on paperback swap so I can get started on the fun over there.
Yeah, I don't read. I wish I had time! I've had twilight sitting her for months and months! Ughh.
