Water for Elephants (Sara Gruen)



There was so much buzz about an upcoming movie based on this book that I thought I'd rather first read it before I see the movie. Otherwise, the images from the movie will get on your way and you won't be able to appreciate the writing without influence of the movie.

I liked the story, the writing is good, but not extraordinary...

I, Fellini (F.Fellini)


This was my first memoir I ever read and I enjoyed the genre. It creates an intimacy between you and a person who tells the story. I "listened" to Fellini and was amazed about how much his thoughts and observations coincide with mine. So many times I would say in my mind: that's exactly what I think!
