Atonement

Well, can I just say how wonderful it is to be done with school for just a few short weeks. I got through finals (Praise the Lord! wasn't sure if I was going to make it!!) about a week ago, which is hard to believe honestly. Oh how time flies. Actually it doesn't, my head has just been really bad, and I've been in bed for the majority of the time since I got home. BUT that is ok. It has to get better right?? Let's hope. Ah I digress. So anyways, I'm out of school and that means I get to read what I want for the next few weeks. First up is Atonement by Ian McEwan. Oh my goodness. It's SO good!! I'm 100 pages in and it's amazing. And I can't wait for the movie. The movie has a website and I was watching the clips. The movie seems to stay pretty true to the book, and the cinematography is beautiful. I'm slightly upset because there is a possibility the movie may not even come to Montgomery. Of course. So anyways, get excited. The movie has been nominated for several Golden Globes. I just know that I love Kiera Knightely in Pride and Prejudice and I love James McAvoy in Becoming Jane so I just can't wait!!! Next on my reading list is Lord of the Rings. I've never read it, and I think I might attempt it. I've had several people tell me I would love it and that it's so good, but I just talked to two people the other day who said they read the first two books and ditched it because it was so boring. So I don't know. I guess we will see. So I hope this post finds everyone well and enjoying this wonderful, magical time of year!! Happy Christmas!!
