I must remember I saw it here and will have to fineggle (sp?) a way to order it when I get home - I love it.<br /><br />Now, there's some other "francophile" thing I wanted to tell you....what is it?<br />Michael Corleone and I went to see MIDNIGHT IN PARIS last weekend. Well, it was perfect, for my mood, expecation, etc. It is NOT perfectly believable, it takes some stereotypical shots at literary characters but HM believes it was all purposely done (good old Woody Allen) and well, we just enjoyed it. No tension, no deep underlying disturbing stuff - just one main simple thing. And a good bit of Paris.<br />Ten stars!<br /><br />And thanks for the Art of Running in the Rain recommendation - I HAVE read it! Racing not my thing either but became caught up in the "what will happen?" and the emotion of it all. My mom told me about it and loaned me her copy. I am thankful; I would not have otherwise picked it up.<br /><br />So what is my summer read, you ask? Still wallowing through franzen's FREEDOM. and will finish off 4 New Yorker mags and 2 VOGUES. Let's see how long this lasts before I plunk down $10 for a mass paperback....!<br /><br />So glad you found your "spot" living in the urban hub. Hope we get to visit there - bet it's Fabulous!Ohhttp://westcobich.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-46886275545376142582011-07-07T23:59:27.710-05:002011-07-07T23:59:27.710-05:00I have heard that the "Something Borrowed&quo...I have heard that the "Something Borrowed" movie isn't very good either.Jolene - EverydayFoodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11490816021651698189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-19267638451641332372011-07-06T23:13:35.739-05:002011-07-06T23:13:35.739-05:00I love that you bought that shirt!!

I just thought it was well-written. Well, for chick lit anyway! Obviously, I don't have a great taste in books, ha. :) I also really enjoyed the movie but only because it was almost identical to the book. I also have a bad taste in movies, if you can't tell.

That could be good :) Personally I think Something Borrowed will be a better movie than a book, and I preferred Something Blue as a book, which was from Darcy's perspective.

One of my favorite books I've read this year. <br /><br />Side note: I heard Something Borrowed was not such a great movie. On the flip side, many people have told me to read the book Something Blue so I might just to see how it goes from Darcy's point of view? Maybe? I dunno. I still wasn't crazy about the book. <br /><br />Also, I totally just rocked out to the Lupe Fiasco song =)Norahttp://walkingwithnora.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-79074878636607143042011-07-06T10:14:34.881-05:002011-07-06T10:14:34.881-05:00Love the shirt!

The content isn't fabulous and I can't stand the characters. People have told me that Something Borrowed is from Rachel's pov, which I assume is less frustrating that reading about how self-absorbed and materialistic Darcy is, but still. I have very little desire to read it anytime soon.AshleyDhttp://thatsuperawesomeblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-22482573745888481082011-07-06T07:22:46.204-05:002011-07-06T07:22:46.204-05:00I read more recreational books than usual this mon...I read more recreational books than usual this month because I was on vacation for almost two weeks.
