A book.

I've had nothing to do in the past two days, except listen to music, read and watch TV. I watched some really dumb movies on TV. I don't know why, but whenever I have exams only nice movies come on TV. And when I have all the time to watch movies, nothing good comes.

I read The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum. When the movie came, I just wanted to read the book and THEN watch the movie. So I plan on reading all the three parts before watching the movie. I always like to read a book and then watch the movie (Maybe this is another weird thing about me). The book is just superb, very captivating. Though there are some parts of it which are a little boring. There are some sentences which are in French. And its irritating, coz I don't know even a word in this language.

I didn't really expect his book to be this good actually, coz I didn't like the first book of his that I read. Many had told me that his books are wonderful. So I got Rhinemann exchange and read it. But it was SO boring! Even now, I have no idea as to what I read in the whole book! What a waste. Its possible that someone who read it would like it, but I didn't understand anything in it. Depends on a person's perception and his knowledge.

So now I got the next part of the book, The Bourne Supremacy. I still have to start reading it. It looks promising.

There are many movies made out of book and if you do both i.e. read and watch, invariably you will find the book to be better than the movie.

Reading is good, and you can rent movies so you don't need to be dependant on Star and such..

Bourne movies: Very good entertainment. I loved those movies and watched them over and over ... finish reading fast and watch it.

became a fan of Matt Damon after this ... any idea when supremacy is coming????

Mowgli dude I am confused :d. I guess you meant Bourne Ultimatum.

Bourne Supremacy was released in 2004, remember those Goa scenes.

Matt Damon has turned out to be a good actor. He has acted quite well in Syriana as well. But I wish he had not done those less than 5 minute role in EuroTrip and The Jersey Girl.
