TrishyB says: 5: Virginia Woolf - Orlando
http://www.accentmonkey.com/2013/02/5-virginia-woolf-orlando.html
A blog about dogs and cats, books and television, knitting and sewing, films and music. Now with added running! Wednesday, February 13, 2013. 5: Virginia Woolf - Orlando. I'm not sure I can add an awful lot to the millions of words that have been written about Virginia Woolf. And now, because you don't have a hand free because of your wrap, you need a man to help and protect you with his free hand. It's also a book chock-full of beautiful prose, from the gorgeous winter skating party.

And it probably would be if was a 300-page caper full of cut and dash. For example, the world Lynch has built has 12 gods, or 13 if you're one of the Right People. So instead of saying "oh my god," people swear by saying, "gods! Why do people in these books make everything out of obsidian? What's wrong with steel? Colman Reill...

I'm surprised Madonna hasn't made a film of her life at any stage, but I suppose Madge wouldn't like to be reminded of the fact that, unlike her, when Montez turned to acting, she turned out to be good at it.

A blog about dogs and cats, books and television, knitting and sewing, films and music. Now with added running! Saturday, February 09, 2013. 4: Gillian Flynn - Gone Girl. It's ages since I read one of the books everyone is talking about. In fact, I don't think I've done it since I stopped working in Oxfambooks, when I read several Dan Brown books, one after the other, standing behind the counter during slack periods in the shop. Much of this criticism stems from the fact that Gone Girl,. 5: Virginia Wool...
