Wow... cheated... then revived :)
Ok so i'm pissed off about Memoirs of a Geisha. First of all the movie sucked and was very very different from the book (what a suprise, huh?). THen i find out its a bunch of made up bullshit lol. At least i know better now... But the introduction of the book talks about how its a real story about a real woman, but the last couple pages (acknowledgements) say that it was all made up. Annoying to say the least. Nonetheless, a very interesting book about an entirely different culture.

But the new book i'm reading is by Temple Grandin... for those of you who don't know, she's autistic and has her PhD. A brilliant woman who has overcome her problems and learned to relate to the "real world" despite her disabilities largely through watching animals. So yah, so far i'm very happy with her latest book and amazed at some of the innovations and standards she has set for animal slaughtering.
