I guess that isn't as easy as it sounds, though. (i know it's hard for me) The movie sounds very interesting, but I would probably still like your post about it better than the movie itself.Maria Sondulehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10492185058019782246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106128444376682893.post-73417783133890329122008-11-21T22:54:00.000-08:002008-11-21T22:54:00.000-08:00I love Natalie Portman too.

Her acting was amazing in the movie.<BR/><BR/>The book '1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die' made a lot of people really angry, when it came out. Here is an interesting <A HREF="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/23/books/23read.html?n=Top/Reference/Times%20Topics/People/G/Grimes,%20William" REL="nofollow">review</A> that I read in the New York Times. Some critics thought the author was just another British man telling the rest of the world what they should read and not read =).<BR/><BR/>I like the idea of setting small goals, that way hopefully I wouldn't be setting myself up for a major disappointment. <BR/><BR/>In terms of books, I am working my way through this <A HREF="http://www.time.com/time/2005/100books/the_complete_list.html" REL="nofollow">book-list</A>, which seems more do-able than reading 1001 books :).Zanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16786906632909587584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106128444376682893.post-39613690961355723122008-11-21T15:48:00.000-08:002008-11-21T15:48:00.000-08:00PS.

When we're young, we have all these ambitions and ideas about what we want to have achieved by 25 or 30 and when we get there, we realise that life just didn't pan out that way. I try to set small goals at the beginning of each year so I won't feel crappy at the end.<BR/><BR/>As for the books, 'read the classics' is on <A HREF="http://www.kia-abdullah.com/blog/2006/07/immaterial-girl.html" REL="nofollow">my list</A>. I also have '1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die' and I've been planning to start The Count of Monte Cristo BUT I've also learnt to read books that I enjoy rather than books I think should read.Kia Abdullahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671414662210384154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106128444376682893.post-86132974101713766182008-11-20T21:57:00.000-08:002008-11-20T21:57:00.000-08:00Thanks, changetheworld360.I was in the midst of re...Thanks, changetheworld360.<BR/><BR/>I was in the midst of reading 'The Odyssey', but I got distracted by Hemingway. Even his posthumous effect on the fairer-sex is undeniable =). <BR/><BR/>I look forward to reading your views regarding Homer's masterpieces.Zanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16786906632909587584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106128444376682893.post-5443043617889126002008-11-20T14:26:00.000-08:002008-11-20T14:26:00.000-08:00Btw, great post!

Like Zach Braff said, it is about awakening: finding yourself and really living your life, not just waiting for something to happen. These are all things young people can identify with and personal conflicts that we struggle to grasp. I think almost all of us can relate to the character of Andrew Largeman somehow.<BR/>We're actually reading <I>The Iliad</I> and <I>The Odyssey</I> in English next semester. Should be interesting.changetheworld360https://www.blogger.com/profile/13420830719350865584noreply@blogger.com
