Finally tracked down the edition of ‘The Talented Mr Ripley’ I was after (for a reasonable price). :D
Spotted it in HMV for £3 before Christmas but only just decided I should’ve picked it up. They had one copy left in Coventry.
Think I might start this one on the train home if I finish my current book by then.

Now reading this book. I love RENT and its original/film cast members. I can’t wait to start it.
Anthony Rapp’s first audition for the workshop production of Rent begins a journey that takes him all the way to Broadway as the star of the Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical, experiencing tragedy, loss, and enlightenment along the way.
When Rent’s brilliant young creator, Jonathan Larson, dies suddenly of an aneurysm the night before the show’s first performance, Anthony and the rest of the cast are devastated and open the show that night only to friends and family, performing a tribute to their dear friend and gifted artist.
Shortly thereafter, Anthony’s mom receives a devastating cancer diagnosis and during the Anthony’s first year on Broadway as Mark in Rent, he makes frequent trips to visit her, hoping for her to come to terms with his being gay, as he comes to terms with her impending death.
With atmospheric, nostalgic flashbacks to his childhood in small-town Joliet, Illinois, he shares his first experiences discovering his sexuality, the tension it created with his mother, and his struggle into adulthood to gain her acceptance.
This is a beautiful, haunting memoir of the world of theatre, the love of son for his mother, sexual awakening, and maturity won at far too early an age.

Day 04 - Your Favourite Book
This is another one of those things that’s going to change overtime. Or I might be that I just haven’t found my favourite yet.
My current ‘favourite’ book I’ve read is Deception Point by Dan Brown. I realise that many bookworms would turn their nose up at Dan Brown simply because of the way he writes, but I found Deception Point a really enjoyable read.
I’m also a very big fan of the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling which I plan to read through again when I get around to buying the box-set of all 7 books.

I’ve worked out that I need to finish a book every 20 days in order for me to hit my target for this year. (Yeah I know, it isn’t a very big target but I only read 9 last year.)
