Since our Sunday was suddenly wide open, we saw The Avengers and I was able to read A Good American, both of which I recommend. I also watched the trailer for The Great Gatsby, so now I'm excited to re-read the book this summer in time to forget the plot details before the gorgeous-looking movie comes out in December.*
*One of my favorite "I was right"
moments (not that I keep track of things like that) was when Adam
re-read one of the Harry Potter books a few days before we went to see
the movie. He kept trying to get me to re-read it too, and I refused
because I knew the movie would be spoiled if I kept comparing it to the
book. As we walked out of the theater, Adam was full of things that were
left out or changed, and I smiled knowingly because my memories weren't
fresh enough to interfere with the movie for me.

OMG the Gatsby movie looks sooo good. I read it in high school, but can't remember it. I think I'll try to re-read it as well before december!
