Well yeah it's why i watched it, porque the costumes were a sight in themselves.
I watched a few trailers of the other boleyn girl, and yep, i agree with you...the dilalogue sounds retardo. But i do it for the sake of the costumes...or does that suck too?
I was trying to see if i could find the movie Elizabeth, but i can't...

Hey me too! How do you like it? I'm going to watch the movie after the book. Did you watch Elizabeth: the golden age? i thought it was a bit boring.
The Golden Age was so boring, the costumes were great, but boring movie! I like the first movie Elizabeth. Anyways The book "The other boleyn girl" is better than the movie, the movie was not so good.

Meh. Not too bad. It has super funny parts here and there.

So, in continuing with my Isabel Allende read-a-thon, I just finished reading Ines del Alma Mia... I can't say that it was one of my favourite books, but I just fell in love with the story of Lautaro, a mapuche toqui or cacique, who's not really the main character, but he turns out to be a very important and crucial character in the story. I'm sure Allende didn't mean to make him out to be such a hero, but I just fell in love with his story, especially knowing it's based in facts.
I give this book 8 bloody dismembered heads out of 10.
I give Lautaro my eternal admiration. Gotta read more on him.
Oh i agree, the historical and description of the scenery is beautiful. I'm not sure how far you are in the book, but i felt that in parts she told too much, that you figured out what was going to happene next. It's a good read none the less.

Booofy----Ines del alma mia...what do you think of it so far? i thought it was OK. But she rambles on and on and on and on sometimes. It's like get to the point already! I know, i know...one mustn't rush an Allende book, but savour it.
Eva Luna is fantastic, the sequel to The house of the spirits if i remember correctly. The stories of Eva luna is also nice.
So far I like Inés, more for the historical value than anything. But I guess I'm biased, 'cause Allende is my new Andrés Cabas.

Have read: La Casa de los espiritus, Portrait in Sepia, Daughter of Fortune and my new favourite, Paula. am reading: Ines del Alma Mia. Next to read: La suma de los dias. I also have Eva Luna (bought it a looooong tme ago) but haven't read it.

Currently reading: The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore. So far so good. Funny read.
My niece just gave me one of his books, Lamb: The gospel according to Biff. She loved it and she said it was one of the funniest books she's ever read. Something about Biff being Jesus's childhood buddy or something. I started reading it but had to stop 'cause I'm going through an Isabel Allende readathon right now.
So i finished reading "The five people you meet in Heaven"...and to me it's not THAT great. I liked "Tuesdays with Morrie" much more.

Asimismo, se sabe que las famosas lágrimas de cocodrilo son una secreción acuosa que mantiene húmedos los ojos del animal, fuera del agua, pero no tienen nada que ver con el llanto, debido a que las glándulas salivales y las lacrimales de este animal están situadas muy cerca unas de las otras y por eso, se estimulan constantemente, lo que hace que al animal mientras llore mientras come.
Todo esto, sumado a la fantasía popular sirvió para dar origen a la expresión lágrimas de cocodrilo, con la que se alude al dolor fingido de alguien ante cualquier suceso desgraciado, dolor que no es tomado en serio por ninguna de las personas que lo contemplan.

Yes it does! When a Croc eats a lot, say... a large animal, it cries because it's stomach cramps, not because it feels bad about eating the animal. Hence: "Lagrimas de cocodrilo" Capishe, cocodrilo?

Ok wait, if a book makes you cry, it is also girlie. AND i was told the movie "The notebook" was going to make me cry...chica i was crying lagrimas de cocodrilo. Osea, ni una lagrima derrame! ugh! I've no heart.
it will make you cry at the injustice of modern day society.... it will make you shed a tear at the forbidden love part and it will make you cry at how cruel they are to the poor untouchable Trust me, its an awesome book.
I read Five People not too long ago, and for me, it was super girly... like a chick book. it was alllllllllllright. Nothing spectacular.
five people you meet in heaven is such a girly book... dont waste your time!!! Read the god of small things, its gonna make you cry...

So Chaletunga, i got the book you suggested. God of small things. BUT i also received another one that i requested : The five people you meet in heaven.
Why is it that when i finally get my hands on the book, all of a sudden everyone wants to read it?!! I have EXACTLY 2 weeks to read both books before i bring it back to the library. Why are people such copiers for?!!
Thus Chaletica, i'm not sure if i'll have time to read God of small things just yet. I really want to read The five people you meet in heaven first.
I just finished reading Tuesdays with Morrie. What a beautiful story that is. Really puts into perspective the importance of not taking everything, even the smallest things in life, for granted.

Chale, the judas book is about religion and stuff like that. Maybe you should read afew pages back on this thread. I've said afew things about it already. I'm not going to repeat myself.
Speaking of evil books, there's a book with a sign "Up for grabs" in the kitchen in my office. It's called "The Devil's Dominion: a complete story of hell and satanism in the modern world." I guess there's a reason nobody wants it.
I finished reading Vivir Para Contarla, Garcia Marquez'eseses autobiography and then I moved on to Paula, which is sort of Isabell Allende's autobiography... that happened sin querer queriendo, but I'm fascinated by these people's weird and colourful lives.
I think I'm gonna start readng more biographies now...
It's soooo inspiring. Anyway, I highly recommend both.
I can't believe I had a chance to meet the woman, and I didn't...
from her website. sooo funny.
His Holiness pointing me to the narrow path to enlightment.
Su Santidad señalándome el estrecho sendero de la iluminación.
UGH chale! read the book then! and tell me how it is because i REALLY REALLY want to know what it's about.
Anyway, i'm reading a boring book for lack of the better ones that people are taking FOREVER to return to the library.
"The nanny diaries"
I also have another one in line named : God is not great. How religion poisons everything.

I finish reading Child of the Revolution: Growing up in Castro's Cuba. It was a very interesting book.
I recomend it.... It shows the beggining of the dream and how it got twisted with time....
I liked vivir para contarla too TVBuff good book.
Hey Chale if you find the coins of Juadas lended to me... I can't find it anywhere.....
If any of you actually finishes reading the friggin' coins of Judas, could you let me know what happens? I was scared s hitless, but I'd still like to know if the guy went back to normal or became Satan's assistant in hell.
@ Pogo: I could've sold you a copy of Pillars of the Earth... I got TWO copies from my good friend in Chicago... Oh, and I haven't read any of them.
The judas one will freak the heck out of you, that is why i didn't want to read it.
