Then you can watch the movie - or skip it - but I did not like it at all. I LOVE the book, and felt like the movie missed the whole point. Just me, though.

It has rained here all week. As for reading I try to alternate from fiction and non-fiction as well as genres to keep my reading moving along.I have not seen The Book of Eli, but will watch it when it comes out on DVD, if I remember.

I personally have been fortunate enough to have had almost every non-fiction book I've read this past year fall into that category. When non-fiction/growth books truly speak to you and cause you to reexamine your life, that is a tiny miracle in and of itself. I am so glad you were able to experience that this week!<br /><br />I am wishing you a MUCH happier, sunnier week to come!
