I hope you enjoy Silver Linings Playbook and Never Let Me Go, both of which are way better than the movies (but isn't that normally true).

Of course I have adored Bradley Cooper since his Alias days and became a big fan of Jennifer Lawrence after Winter's Bone, so that may have something to do with it.

I hope you are enjoying/enjoyed reading them!<br />Silver Linings Playbook and Never Let Me Go are two that I really want to read. I have seen both the films, and although I know they are probably slightly different, I was very impressed with the originality of the stories. Would be very interested to read Matthew Quick and Kazuo Ishiguro's original versions of them.<br />Once again, really great and interesting list.

I'm always surprised how many people haven't read it, but I often forget I have a skewed idea of how many people have read it since my generation grew up with it and so most of my immediate friends have. I have been wanting to read Never Let Me Go for AGES (and see the movie, for that matter). Hopefully it'll happen in the New Year!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058009271288566400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3947493571613994611.post-73124416794901761292013-12-16T21:20:45.068-08:002013-12-16T21:20:45.068-08:00Great list!
