That gave me the kick in the pants I finally needed...I signed up for the Gene Wolfe book club and will be starting on the first one soon. I don't know how many times I've promised myself I was going to read these books. Its time to show up!
Very interesting films for 2009. I am worried about Time Traveler's Wife simply because I am very attached to the novel and am not thrilled with the casting...at least for Henry. The rest look like films that I will either see in theatres or on DVD (certainly on DVD regardless of their reviews). Good stuff, thanks for the link!
