Book and Movie

Looking for something to do? This weekend I watched a great movie and read a great book so I figured I'd share. First, was the movie The Illusionist with Edward Norton and Jessica Biel. It's a quick flick at only an hour and a half (a running time I am greatly fond of because it seems just right.) Intriguing, quick moving, unusual topic...I enjoyed this movie a lot.
Second is the book More Than You Know by Beth Gutcheon. Again, an unusual topic because it involves a bit of ghost story element with romance and murder. It was a real page-turner. I liked everything about it...the style, the story, the setting. It's one of the best books I have ever read and I picked it up online at Barnes and Noble on clearance for $2. The entire time I was reading the book I kept thinking "If only I had chosen this for book club...what a great discussion it would have fueled and I think everyone would have just loved this!"

I checked out "More Than You Know" at Amazon.com and it looks great. I might just have to read that one!
