Scott Pilgrim

Today my boyfriend got me the first and second volumes of Scott Pilgrim, that were released here in a single volume... It already hit my "currently reading" list, as I am playing the XboxLIVE game and intending to watch the movie as soon as it comes out!

Scott Pilgrim is 23 years old, living in the big city with his gay roommate, just trying to get by in this crazy world. He's in a band. He's lazy. He likes video games. Scott Pilgrim likes the new girl in town, Ramona Flowers, but to win her heart, he has to defeat her seven evil ex-boyfriends. Seven! Evil! Ex! Boyfriends! Lucas has muscles! Todd plays bass with his psychic powers! The Twins are twins! Matthew Patel is an Indian guy! AND MORE! (official site description)

Persepolis

Today I got the book for my third and final french assignment of the semester... At least I'm already done with the first and already reading the second one...

This is a comics collection called Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. It is the story of Satrapi's unforgettable childhood and coming of age within a large and loving family in Tehran during the Islamic Revolution; of the contradictions between private life and public life in a country plagued by political upheaval; of her high school years in Vienna facing the trails of adolescence far from her family; of her homecoming--both sweet and terrible; and, finally, of her self-imposed exile from her beloved homeland. It is the chronicle of a girlhood and adolescence at once outrageous and familiar, a young life entwined with the history of her country yet filled with the universal trials and joys of growing up. Edgy, searingly observant, and candid, often heartbreaking but threaded throughout with raw humor and hard-earned wisdom--Persepolis is a stunning work from one of the most highly regarded, singularly talented graphic artists at work today.

I'm very curious about this one, but as I said, I still have a long way before I finish Cyrano de Bergerac... :)

* BTW, one of these days I also got Heartless, the 7th book of the Pretty Little Liars saga... I'm almost in the middle of the third book by now... Once I'm through with at least a few of them, or I decide to give them a break and read something else I'll make a post about it!

Eat, Pray, Love

Just finished the audiobook of Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. And in a great timing because my friends were thinking on going to the movies this Sunday to watch the movie!

What I thought about it? Well, it's kind of hard to say... There are really beautiful parts, really funny ones but there also are several dull parts and several boring ones as well. All in all, I liked it, I don't regret reading it, and sice I love reading books then seeing the movies, I think it was good that I did it! But I also enjoyed choosing it to hear as audiobook instead of actually reading it, I think it was better... And the audiobook is read by Elizabeth Gilbert herself, by that it is exactly read in the way it was supposed to be, stressing the important parts and so on.

Now I have to finish my Pride and Prejudice audiobook so I can move on to the next!
