BEAUTIFUL RUINS * AMERICAN PIE

Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter - Sydney Sheldon for the millenium. This was a real slog to get into, but there was just enough of a tiny spark to keep me reading. Then I got into it, but more because of what I had invested than because it was such a great book to read. Many story lines, many points in time and many characters. The cover is pretty and the end was sort of good.

American Pie - The "remake" of American Grafitti is a good movie! There are some iconic scenes that were referred to in American Reunion and it's fun to watch. It's about a pact made by four high school boys culminating in their prom night.
