Does she make me weak in the knees?...

... week or nursing sick X. Managed to just lie in bed and read for the first time in ages. I read The Lovely Bones which was unputdownable. Alice Sebold has such an engaging writing style and the subject matter appealed to me. The story is told from the point of view of a teenage girl who died in a violent sex crime. It’s her coming of age story as she observes those she left behind...

I'm reading The Secret Life of Bees right now. I would love to see the movie so I hope our library gets it when it comes out on DVD. The discussion about the theme of this story in the vid below relates to the point I was trying to make in my review of The Lovely Bones in yesterday's post.

... Kaufman Casting (casted "Baby Mama," "What Happens in Vegas," "Syriana"; currently working on "The Lovely Bones"): He's got such heart. For [Barack] Obama, I'd say Will Smith. He's a bit obvious, but he's got the chops. And he doesn't look like him, but Jeffrey Wright, who's in the new James Bond movie, is a good bet. He'd be a break-out. Then, of course, there's Denzel [Washington]....
