But after my recent reading spree, I realized I need to give more attention to these other books. I read them almost halfway and then abandon them for something else. Nobody wants to be ignored. I will finish these books by February and chalk it as an accomplishment for myself.
- Prince of Fire (finished)
- Chocolat (reading)
- Love In The Time of Cholera (on queue)
I am now reading Chocolat and I realized what a big loss it was that I was skipping the book. I associate it with that great film but there were differences, details that were given life by the book but not by the screen.
So I promised myself I will try not to abandon a book again and not try to read something new when I am in the middle of something. Patience. I think I need to practice more of that.

That's always how it is. The movie never captures all of the elements of the book.
hi miss ther..i hope you'll love #3 on the list. it's one of my faves.the movie didn't rate so well with the critics, however. but just the same, javier bardem starred in it..so consuelo na lang :)
I read the book a long time before the film came out and was VERY disappointed that the film changed so much. And yet I enjoyed the fil too, just as a different story somehow.
leon -> agree. no matter how much movies try, there are some things that words can express better, can visualize better. Thanks for visiting!
ays -> hi ays! yeah. sometimes it's so sad when the movie rendition turns out to be so bad. i so loved the book 'A walk to remember' but the movie with Mandy Moore was just hilarious and horrible!
a. -> i think chocolat was made great by johnny depp's presence. i love that guy! =)
