I blame Amanda...

[lonniemarie]

After reading all those great things you said about Memoirs of a Geisha...I broke down and bought it...I wasn't sure if it would be a book that I would enjoy since I mostly read mystery/supernatural/thrillers *along with Terry Pratchett books*...so it was with fear that I opened the book and began to read...and I haven't put the book down since...I've put aside the other two books I've been reading along with "Thud" by Terry Pratchett (I got like 8 books for Christmas from my family)...and have totally immersed myself into Nitta Sayuri's world...so I blame you, Amanda, for giving me the push I needed to read such a wonderful book...and I say Thank You!

I often get blamed for a lot of things. I will gladly accept the blame in this case. I'm so glad you decided to read Memoirs of a Geisha! (and even happier that you're enjoying it!)

I finished it yesterday...and found the ending to be a bittersweet candy...something you really want...but doesn't quite satisfy the hunger for what could have been...I really enjoyed it and am happy I took the advice/time and read it...Now...I will let you go to back to your regularly scheduled program... ;D
