Kate Winslet

I like Kate Winslet. I haven't seen many of her movies, but I always like reading her interviews and watching her on shows like David Letterman. She seems very down-to-earth. I love that her wedding ring is a set of bands (both times she's been married). I loved her in Finding Neverland and The Holiday. I don't like that she uses vulgar language. One of her latest movies, The Reader, was a book on Oprah's list. I checked it out once and started reading it, and when I got to the first love scene it was so graphic that I returned it without ever leaving the library. So I can't say anything about her recent award-winning performances, but I think she's a fascinating person. Maybe I'll have to go watch Sense and Sensibility.

    I'm kind of surprised you haven't seen Sense and Sensibility yet! It's very good. And The Holiday is one of my modern favorites. Just when I was losing hope in romantic movies, it came along. I'm proud of you and not finishing your book. Books are tricky like that and I think they should have ratings.

    I know. I've kind of wanted to read Sense and Sensibility before watching it. Books are tricky! A lot of Oprah ones sound good but then have something questionable... I've been sticking to the classics instead - I just started Little Women!

    {Happy Birthday to Sara! I hope it's a good one!}

    Call me the second you finish it--that's my favorite book of all time.
