    Looking forward to the day when I can sit and read a V. Woolf book. I have been reading two books for about 5 months. Sad but true. I agree totally with your assesment of Alexander, wish they would have immulated the character better, shown his empathy for some of his captives, should have shown how much in pain he was from a battle wound for the last 3 or so years of his life and he was not poisoned his gay lover was suspected to be poisoned, he died from an illness associated w/ fever. What's that you say? Why yes, I did teach a bit of history on Alexander this year.

    April - Virginia Woolf is so amazing. Have you ever read anything by her? I've really read A Room of One's Own and her first novel, The Voyage Out. I'm looking forward to reading all the other things she's written.

    Hee. I haven't even read that much about Alexander...even without historical inaccuracies, the movie stunk. Your comments only give me more reasons why it stunk!

    No, I dont think I've read any of her books, but my memory of books is about as good as what movies I've seen, Clay always reminds me of what I have watched and read. I also want to go back and read all J. Austins books. For now I'm just going to have to live with made for movie versions.
