It's one of my favourites! Personally I prefer the series over the new movie (Keira Knightley one), but to each his own. We can discuss that over the long-awaited cup of coffee (or cocoa in my case) once you've seen it. ;) Note to self: must read book. Oh yes, please, do watch the BBC show! It’s one of my favourites!

I was not brought up in a family where English was spoken on a daily basis, and must therefore bring to your attention my inexperience with spoken English; I am much more comfortable with ink on paper! Also, it might just be due to my previous endeavour with the "lost" tongue, but I have yet to find a passage in the book that is not comprehensible. There are, of course, certain words scattered here and there which are strange to me, but not at all unintelligible when put in context. Ah, how I wish I could, my dear! But my time is scarce, and priorities many — I pray you will remind me of it once I return back home! I find it much more enjoyable to read — that way you get all the details!

Of course it is....it's just that when it is not UNDERSTANDABLE! I understand when they speak it, but to read it...is an entirely different thing! I want to find the "translated" version. You should watch the bbc version of it with colin firth! So romantic! It’s not that it’s not beautiful! Of course it is….it’s just that when it is not UNDERSTANDABLE!

Oh, and no rush! You're hard at work and have a ton of things to do that needs doing before that's anywhere remotely worthwhile doing. Thanks for the thought though :) Haha, I had to read it before I could comment on it, and it’s not until you’ve gotten some into the book that you can truly claim that it’s boring, and by then I might as well finish it.

I wouldn't know, I have yet to find a rubbish story written beautifully. But I guess the story would be beautiful as well, because of the way it was written! Haha I apologize for not having put up a step-by-step of how to make sushi before I left — once I buy a camera I'll make one here!
