First off, a link: Fox 2000 Takes The Book Thief. I haven't read Book Thief yet--I'm waiting to get it from the library--but based on the amount of discussion I've seen about it, I'm curious to see what it's like. I really enjoyed I Am the Messenger, which I thought was a clever, unusual YA novel. Plus, come on, who doesn't love a novel narrated by Death?

I've volunteered to start writing a book review column for the local paper, and today my first column is due. Lord help me. Once the column is published, I'll post it, because I'd love some feedback.
