Update:
Barrayar and The Warrior's Apprentice by Lois McMaster Bujold:
Really liked both books. Out of the three books from the series I have read so far I would say that Barrayar was probably the best when it comes to overall style and pacing and characters. I did however enjoy The Warior's Apprentice a lot mostly because of its almost hilarious pacing. I read most of it in one sitting because I just couldn't lay it down. Though I guess one shouldn't think to much about how fate appeared to always present Miles with exactly what he needed when he needed it.
The Quiet American - Graham Greene:
This was a good book, though nothing too exeptional. I liked his descriptions a lot though and thought that they really brought the surroundings to life. I just didn't really care for the story in general.
Treasure Planet:
Fun movie. I remember that a lot of people didn't like it back when it came out first, which is probably why I hadn't seen it till now. Personally I think that there are a lot worse Disney movies but I guess I'm a bad judge for that anyway because I hate The Lion King which everyone else seems to love.
The Best Offer:
Awsome movie. I had never heard of it before (my husband is in charge of our lovefilm account) so I was a bit sceptical at first but in the end I was really blown away.
Nezumi - 8/50 books | 4/50 movies
