I just finished My Sisters Keeper by Jodi Picolt (absolutely fantastic book) and now I am reading Schindler's List . . .

Im reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

ive been waiting for ages to read that. A friend of mine from the US promised to give me a copy, so i have waited till the book arrived (it arrived yesterday). I wanted to buy a copy ages ago but i wanted to respect him since he bought one for me. Finally, i'm reading it!

I'm reading "Blonde" by Joyce Carol Oates for like the seventh time. I love it so much, it feels like coming home everytime I open it after reading it so many times.

sounds interesting....Emma, would you mind giving us a lil background of the story..thanks....

i wonder what the story is all about.

Sure!

"Blonde" is based on the life of Marilyn Monroe. It starts with her childhood and then the reader gets to follow her through her life until her tragic death. According to Joyce Carol Oates, you are not supposed to read it as a biography, but as a fictional story with some reality in it. Even if very much of it is made up, I think the portrait of Marilyn in "Blonde" somehow feels very genuine. This is the most beautiful novel I have ever read in my life. It just takes your breath away... every sentence is like a piece of poetry.

I really hope that JCO will win the Nobel Litterature Prize soon, because she deserves it. I love all her books that I have read, but "Blonde" is the best.

may i ask when was the book published? really sound interesting..i might check that one out in the bookstore sometime this week.

It was published in 2001 I think. If you do read it, please let me know what you think of it!

Love,

Emma
