I think one should go to the cinema leaving behind the idea of the book one has read. Literature and cinematography are two completely unrelated way of telling a story. So you'll always be ddisappointed if you go there trying to recreate the same atmosphere you'd experienced while reading.

I don't know if it is just a snobbish thing. I don't like this commercial things, books published in a new vest just for selling reason: I think a book is something which as to do with the human need to tell stories, to share emotions and knowledge. The need to grow richer and richer is not included I see their reasons but I don't have to follow them

I recall too having left the cinema with tearing eyes and a swollen heart.It's a very long and sad story about living the life, about love and being love despite and against everything. It's a good film and ther's a good Kate Balnchet to see. But.

The secret garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett (on my TBR list)

House of leaves - Mark Z. Danielewski

It seems funny. I'll have a look at the link

I've read it once, on my way back home from Berlin. I read it in "real time", as if I was the one listening to this compelling story. Absolutely to read in one sitting

Should I change my previous state, having started another non-fiction book and being at my fourth?

Absolutely right except for the drop of milk

First time you happen in Sicily I'll suggest you some ultra-delicious servings from mediterranean fish to inland Sicily cheese we have a lot of awesom (and hyper-fattening ) recipes.

I can't stand platitudes, silly facts which are nowhere to be found but in the stereotyped image we've build in our heads. I tend to avoid them as the worst thing ever. But my italian brain couldn't help showing me a smoking serving of spaghetti with tomato sauce and Parmiggiano chees on top. at least is not pizza

I'm fine. I followed your advice and skipped the gym. Thanks again. As for Dexter, I think you should give him a try and buy the first season DVD. This season is really worth it. I remember watching X-files when I was a boy and it really scared the hell out of me. I agree the early seasons were better than the most recent ones. Unfortunately in Italy Seinfield is not so popular. Once in the USA I saw him in a live show and he was great. I got bored and missed out in the list Six feet under, but that too deserved a special place among my favourite series. Though I think series 1, 2 and 5 are really good, while few episodes of the 3rd and 4th are outstanding.

For all the TV-series addicted: write down your Hall of Fame, a list of the series or the episodes which you won't forget. Here's the mine one: House M.D. (2004) 1-01."Pilot" 1-21."Three Stories" 2-10."Failure to Communicate" 2-17."All In" 2-20."Euphoria, Part 1" 2-21."Euphoria, Part 2" 2-24."No Reason" 3-01."Meaning" 3-18."Airborne" 4-05."Mirror Mirror" 4-07."Ugly" 4-15."House's Head" 4-16."Wilson's Heart" 5-04."Birthmarks" 5-09."Last Resort" 5-11."Joy to the World" 5-17."The Social Contract" 5-19."Locked In" Lost (2004) S1: all S2: all S3: all S4: 4-01."The beginning of the end" 4-05."The constant" 4-08."Meet Kevin Johnson" 4-09."The shape of things to come" 4-12."Ther's no place like home: part 1" 4-13."Ther's no place like home: part 2" S5: 5-01."Because you left" 5-02."Jughead" 5-08."LaFleur" 5-10."He's our you" Heroes (2006) S1: all S2: none S3: 3-01."The second coming" 3-19."Shades of Gray" 3-21."Into Asylum" Dexter (2006) S1: all S2: 2-01."It's alive" 2-09."Resistance is futile" 2-10."Ther's something about Harry" 2-11."Left turn ahead" 2-12."the british invasion" S3: 3-01."our father" 3-02."Finding Freebo" 3-06."Si Se puede" 3-09."About last night" 3-10."Go your own way" 3-11."I had a dream" 3-12."Do you take Dexter Morgan?"

Hi Sally and Welcome !

Errata corrige: Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is due to be released in 2010.

HP and Wolverine are probably the most expected and for me the most frightening: I fear they couldn't be up to my expectations. Another film could be Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, but checking it on Imdb it seems in stale.

Welcome
