Day 22: Book you plan to read next
I’m going to reread Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy by John Le Carre! I don’t think I’ll get the biography on Gertrude Bell read before I leave. Tinker, Tailor is going to be my plane read. I’m hoping to reread most of it before I see the movie.
I really like my copy of the book. It’s a beat up, well loved tie in edition from the Alec Guinness mini-series (which I haven’t seen). I picked it up for 50 cents, even better for me!
Day 23: Book you tell people you’ve read, but haven’t (or haven’t actually finished)
Dante’s Divine Comedy. I don’t think I’ve explicitly said that I’ve read it, but I allude to it, quote it, etc. But I haven’t finished. I haven’t even finished Inferno. That’s a constant work in progress. I have trouble reading poetry. More accurately, I have trouble concentrating when I read poetry. I once read one of Tolkien’s epic poems. Wow.
Day 24: Book that contains your favorite scene
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I love the scene where Fred and George decide to leave Hogwarts. Its funny. There’s much mayhem. Fred and George. Love it.

DO watch the excellent BBC TV adaptation, it is simply MAGNIFICENT. It’s a hard one as to whether you should watch the BBC version before you watch the film. The BBC version was about 7 episodes, each about 45-50 mins I think. The film i assume will be around 2 hrs. That means there will be a lot of stuff crammed into this time, and I guess a lot that will be missed out. Decisions decisions!

If I can get my hands on the BBC adaptation, I most definitely will watch it. 🙂
