Looks like I'll have to pick up some Kazuo Ishiguro then. I ADORED An Equal Music. It was so good it hurt. I even bought the CD to go with it. I simply couldn't match the descriptions to the music though. I'm not tone deaf, but I definitely prefer words to music.

Had no idea there was a CD. Will have to check it out and reread the book so I know which piece goes with which bit in the book. I also have to rewatch and read The Remains of the Day. I saw the movie when it first came out when I was but a young-un and didn't pay terribly much attention to anything but the basic plot. Now that I know the plot, I should get more out of it.

On demand, watched I Love You Beth Cooper, which was cliche. Also watched Scott Pilgrim VS. The World, which I found to be outstanding.
