Salt and Notes on a Scandal

We watched Salt last night before bed. Loved it!  It was a pretty good movie although somewhat predictable.  for a while though, it was tough to decide if she was really good or bad or both.  Enjoyed it quite a bit.  We watched Notes on a Scandal on Friday night.  It was different from most of the movies we watch but it was still enjoyable.  It kept me interested and had a different sort of plot line from anything I have seen recently.  Both were good movies and I am wondering what we will watch tonight.  :)

On a separate note, Heather who I work with is in the hospital.  She went into labor last night 7 weeks early but they got her stabilized and stopped her labor.  I don't know what her status is now except she probably won't be back to work anytime soon.

NIGHT by Elie Weisel

This is on my daughter's summer reading list for this summer and since she just finished it, I will read it next.  She read it in just a couple of hours and said it is a great read.  She also said it is depressing and tragic.  I am interested in seeing how it is so I will start it tomorrow I think.
Well it took me longer than expected to start this one.  But my daughter had to read it for her English class and do a project on it.  I had no idea what to do as far as her project goes so I decided to read the book so I could help her.  WOW!  That is all I can say.  This was a powerful book about one man's experience in the concentration camps when he was a teenager.  He was so strong and brave for his age and took such care of his father.  I cannot begin to imagine the heartache and fear and pain and anger he felt.  There will never be any words to express how awful that was for those people.  I cannot even write a review about it because words fail me.  But I will say it is a moving book that made me sad, angry, hopeful, and  depressed all at once. 
Definitely a book that teenagers should read.  If it does not make you appreciate your family and how lucky you are, I don't know what will.
