Suite Francaise

Wowsers, this book is amazing and at the same time utterly devasting. I love that there is a picture of a suitcase on the cover of this book, because thats where the manuscript of this story was found about 60 years later.
The author of this book, Irène Némirovsky was deported in 1942 to Auschwitz. Her two daughters escaped with a suitcase...the very suitcase which housed the manuscript. And it wasnt opened until a few years ago.
So, this novel has a lot of back story as well! And the novel is just so amazing. It's about the mass exodus from Paris right before the Nazi invasion and it follows different families from different backgrounds, with different histories, and how they each cope with the war differently. This book is so beautiful.

It's Superman!

Heck yeah, its superman! Just look at that picture! That is art at its finest. Set in the 1930's, this is a better period piece than a novel about Superman. This Clark was my least favourite Clark that I've come across...which is good news for Dean Cain, who held that spot ever since he first stepped into the limelight as the man of steel.
Interesting as a period piece, though, if you are into that sort of thing. Also, from reading thing book, I learned that Lex is short for Alexander. MY FAVOURITE NAME EVER BELONGS LEX LUTHOR!!!! So-you also know that if you watch Smallville, which I do not, but I really love that SMALL fact because I LOVE THE NAME and I HATE LEX LUTHOR (unless he is played by a certain Michael Rosenbaum, because he's still a buddy!)
