I saw the adaptation first. It was “The Innocent” with Deborah Kerr, one of the scariest movies I’d ever seen. And now my curriculum forced me to read the book…

How I did it
It made me
proud 
How I did it: I took a super-intensive summer course last year, then I participated in an anual course, then in July I took another super-intensive course and in August I went to Palermo for another intensive course. After a year of studying I finished B2. I'm able to read press in Italian, watch movies and what's the most important I'm able not only to communicate but to do it correctly. I met many wonderful people in Sicily and when you understa… Read how I did it…
It made me
satisfied
How I did it: It was quite difficult to choose only 43 so most of them have something more than just beauty which made me choose them.Of course there were some which were simple musts but sometimes it was difficult to choose between two men. Read how I did it…
It made me
feel bizarre 
How I did it: Even if I wasn't eating very healthy I was trying not to do the things I used to to when I had pangs of hunger. I'm not an ordinary person as far as eating is concerned. I still have problems with eating in public and buying food and I still think that people look at me as at a fat cow. Read how I did it…

44. Native Speaker by Chang-Rae Lee

I really don’t know. Due to my lack of time I had to read this book within one day which isn’t such an easy issue as it was more than 300 pages long. I got bored with it at times but I think it was quite a good read.

more Polański so “Bitter Moon”
“Mysterious Skin” interestin but provocative
Cronenberg “The Brood”, “Scanners” and “Videodrome”(“Saw” and “Untraceable” don’t seem so innovative anymore), btw I want to marry the guy
Argento, finally “Phenomena” great
“Hibernatus” I still consider de Funes to be the best comedy actor
Kieślowki’s “Three colours: blue”, too much pathos but definitely worth watching
Parker’s “Life of David Gale” very good, though quite predictable at some point
vampire movies represented by “Thirst” and “Hunger”
Demi Moore had some good movies e.g. “St. Elmo’s Fire” but she also played in “We’re no angels” a movie which was a bitter de Niro-Penn disappointment
there were more but as I don’t remember them they probably aren’t worth mentioning
