Inkheart

I've seen the movie today and it made me happy in my heart. I probably repeat myself, but I lovelovelove stories about books and their power. I mean, it wasn't an exeptionally great movie, but it was lovely. And, as usual, Paul Bettany managed to steal everyone's show and also my heart. I probably loved the movie just for him, because oh. Dustfinger. *swoons*

Has anyone read the books? Are they good? Better? Worse?

God, no, the hairlength is perfect. Makes him look like... Aragorn, only cleaner.
That scene was one of the first things I came across when I searched for the film on youtube. Yeah, that's quite something...

I lovelovelove those books. See, they play in a world where books have roughly the value of pop culture (Richard III as the Rocky Horror Picture Show!), major sports events (brawls breaking out between supporters of certain authors!) and religion (people walking from door to door who'd like to talk to you about Shakespeare!) added together. I could borrow you the first one, if you'd like (the others, too, but I'm just rereading them myself ^^)

Sounds just like the kind of books I love. :D I'd love to try them out and I wouldn't mind just starting with the first one - I have so many other books to read that I'd certainly need some time to finish it. ;)
