Memoirs of a Geisha  
When I first saw Memoirs of a Geisha I remember I was bored because the film was taking too long. This afternoon I re-watched it and I was surprised to find that I loved it so much. Why? Probably because I am currently reading the book. I believe it may even be my all time favourite book. Everytime I pick it up to read I am always amazed at how beautifully written the book is. It's absolutely incredible. I am constantly entranced by the way the author tells the story and always absorbed in the story.

While reading the book and after re-watching the film I would really like to go to Japan.

If you haven't read the book- read it. If you hated the film, read the book and then you will appreciate it much more.

Agreed! The book is beautiful and the film was not able to translate that beauty to the same degree. Especially if one has not read the book before seeing the film. Thanks for inspiring me to re-read it!

I'm probably the only one left in the world who hasnt seen the movie, and since I've been dying to read a good book again, I'll take your advice and go and see if the library has the book available. :)

I have a crazy fascination with Japan. Can't wait to go there.

I think you've just convinced me to go get the book out from the library =)

lol. I really want to go to Japan now. I have an aunty who is Japanese so hopefully one day she'll give me some great tips of things to see and do.

Oh it it! The movie doesn't even come close to it.
