Book to movie news:
~ Director Baz Luhrmann is adapting The Great Gatsby for the screen. I’m not a huge fan of the book, but with Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby and Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway, I will definitely be in line to see the film. Next question is, of course, who should play Daisy?

I’m excited for The Great Gatsby. I just hope they choose an actress who has more than looks going for her.

Kathleen – While I’m not a huge fan of Moulin Rouge, I LOVED Australia. I think he has the right tone for Gatsby.
Stolen was fantabulous! I hope you enjoy it. Also, Mockingbirds was well done as well. You’ve got some great reading ahead
