I'm almost finished with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I need something new to read.

I will read the first book which is suggested in this post's comments section.

And, if you have any guts, you will cut&paste the sentence above into your own journal and stick with whatever gets thrown your way.

i wish i could submit to this. but i've got shelves and shelves of books i haven't read. lately, i've been rereading 'wicked' by gregory maguire so my friend and i can form a pitch for some agents he knows. nothing will probably come of it, but i love the book so much and really want to make an accurate film version of it because the musical had crapfuck to do with the book; this bastardized prettied-up whore mockery of what is a significantly deeper tale than what was allowed on the broadway version. don't get me wrong, i still have a soft spot for the play. but only because i'm a big homogeek with musicals. i stand by the story sucking bigtime. anyway, tangent. but when i put that book down, i've been picking up the ali smith you sent me. i'd already read the first excerpt and the second piece when i first got it and kept meaning to pick it back up. it's so small i could finish it in one sitting, but i find myself wanting to flood my head with the words. read them slowly. have it on my nightstand so i can see it and think about it longer. how the ... i don't know, i want to use the word 'monologues'... are woven. and i keep wanting to tell you how much i love it. so thank you again. it was a really lovely gift. i'm enjoying it quite a lot. yay books.

Ali Smith is brilliant! She's got a new novel, called "The Accidental", which I'm just waiting for it to be released on paperback form to buy. I read "Hotel World" by her and it was amazing too.

I've got shelves and shelves of books too which I haven't read, but I was feeling like tempting my friends when I wrote this post, and tempting myself to read something different. I half-expected someone to suggest "War and Peace" or something just as long, but thank god nobody did!
