Current book: Brideshead Revisited
Pages read: None
I have the book now; I'm just a slacker.
Also, it's a movie edition. Why do people do that? I hate movie editions of books. I realize the cover doesn't matter at all, but it makes it seem like the movie came first. Movie covers should be reserved for novelizations so you know they're horrible travesties of literature.
Ahem.
*I bet I'll be able to use this title a good five times.

Using the title 5 times would obviously demonstrate your slackerness. But I suppose that's the point, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI hate movie editions too! Even though I also know that it logically does not matter! I guess I hate the idea that somebody would read a book because they liked the movie so much, but that doesn't make any damn sense either. Really, I want good authors to succeed no matter how their audience discovers their work. Sigh... I must discover how to use this "logic" thing about which Brandon has been telling me. (Note that despite the fact that all the grammar books say it is fine, I still cannot bring myself to end a sentence with a preposition. Modernity fail.)
