into the wild and the bonfire of the vanities

I may be a little premature as I have not read the novel yet, but I soon will and everyone I have talked has loved the novel titled Winter's Bone. The movie was very good and has gotten SAG, Golden Globe and Oscar nominations this year. The author is from West Plains, Mo. Another of his novels was made into a movie titled Ride With the Devil. The authors name is Daniel Woodrell. I plan to start reading a lot of his work soon.

I dont read many novels. True Grit being the one. I have recently several times over the past four years.

As mentioned John Wayne was John Wayne in his version of True Grit. I like JOhn Wayne.

As the wife and I went to Bridges version of True Grit, I was very pleasantly surprised that the movie was closer to the book. Bridges did a very good job and should get an Oscar, the little girl was excellent as were all the other actors in this version.

Most of my reading is anything I can do with my hands. Some wood work, mostly automotive and such
