Read Dr. Peter Boxall's 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die

Like Water for Chocolate.

I LOVED this movie. Watched it in Spanish…very magical hearing it that way the romance seemed more dramatic. It was way more intense. It never really occurred to me that reading a book translated in English would have the same affect as a movie being translated. It lost a lot of that intensity. It also seems a lot more rushed as odd as that my seem. Usually it’s the movies that are more rushed.

Knowing how beautiful the movie was, the book is kind of hard to get through. I’m wondering if I’ll get through it? I also wonder how I would have liked the book if I had read it before I’d seen the movie? But that was years ago… so I guess Ill see how this one pans out.

off the list to get me started. I think to help me keep track of them Ill do them in chunks of ten. I’ve also made a special Boxalls list on my goodreads too :) time to put in some requests with the librarY!

I’ve gone through some of this list & I’ve added some of the books to my list. I’m not sure how far Ill get on this goal as some of the books don’t exactly appeal to me. But I’m going to get through as much as I can…see how it goes.

is a goal I can totally get lost in! I love it :) I think Ill add like 10 books at a time to my amazon wish list haha
