Hey, I'm not the only person who's checked out C++ for Dummies from the library!
C&P was such a demanding book, just because it is written in such a dense manner. Russian lit is all kind of like that, I suppose.
I concur in that the movie version of Stardust was a lot better than the book, since it made the characters a lot more real and sympathetic. Pride & Prejudice...is kind a weird thing for me, since there's a lot of subtle things that you can't translate to the screen, though the film does an amazing job of doing it. I guess I kind of like them both equally?
