No one guessed this one. It was Sean Connery playing King Arthur in First Knight. Seriously folks, one of the best films EVER! Check this one out!

Q: What are you reading right now? How do you like it?

I am currently trying to read two classics at once (I wouldn't recommend this!) I reading both Les Miserables and Anna Karenina. I have a lot of down time at work so I simply read the free Goodreads e-versions of both on my iphone. It's very slow going--I've been reading both for months but still have a LONG way to go. I'm joining a read-along for Les Mis hosted by Dee's Book Blog to help push me along to finish it. My goal is to have both finished by the time their movies come out. (Anna Karenina in Nov; Les Miserables in Dec.)

I'm actually liking both a lot. The writing is a bit much to wade through but I am thoroughly enjoying both of the stories. :D
How about you? What are you reading?
Random Movie Quotes (RMQ)
Don't know what this is? Click here.
So the last RMQ I did was on Tuesday. It was:
"Either what we hold to be right and good and true is right and good and true for all mankind, under God, or we are just another robber tribe!"

So for today's RMQ:
Who said it? Three possible points: one for film, one for character, one for actor. I'll give you some hints: It's said by a woman. This story has been made into no less than THREE film versions. Yup, it's THAT inspiring! :D Good luck!
"Most people don't see the world as it is. They see it as they are, and as a king, you need a broader view."

Very interesting. I didn't know those were being released as movies. I'll need to research that. Thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteYup! I'm excited for them! :D
DeleteI can't imagine reading two classics at once. You are a brave soul!

It's pretty good, just long. There's a readalong coming up if you're interested. Check out this post. Happy Friday! :D
DeleteI'm not sure Anna Karenina appeals, but Les Mis is SUCH a good idea. I don't think I even know I COULD read on my iPhone! I'll have to have a nose around and see if I can find it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy them both - you're braver than I for tackling both at once. Usually if I have something I'm finding slow on the go, I'll have something quick and easy going too for a break!

ReplyDeleteYou know, these are two classics I've not read! I started Anna Karenina but I never finished it... I feel like such a slacker now!
