The Lovely Bones
Several years ago I was in the airport and picked up a copy of Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones to read on the plane. It's not normally the kind of novel I read, but I was in the mood to try something different. A nice brain dead easy read, so to speak. It turns out that I really ended up enjoying the book. I just found out today that in December the movie version is being released. Peter Jackson, director of the Lord of the Rings trilogy is directing it. I thought that seemed like an odd choice, but we'll see. Caroline and I have set a date for dinner and a movie to go see it. I have to shoot her my copy of the book so she can read it before then!
