I reread my favorite novel, Brideshead Revisited, written by the brilliant Evelyn Waugh. (he is, indeed, a he, mind you) Anyway, I'd like to go on about how much I love that book so fucking much. xD
Brideshead Revisited was made into a Brittish miniseries 25 years ago, and I recently bought the 25th Anniversry collector's addition of the boxed DVD set.
Last year, the book was made into a movie. It was an excellent movie, by the way, and please go see it. The movie took on a very different tone than the miniseries did, and, I think, captured the novel's essence better than the miniseries did. Anyway, on Tuesday, I ran over to the store and bought it, and watched it 5 times thereafter.
Hahaha. Yes. I am obsessed.
Oh. Right. What's the book about you ask?
Well, basically, its a love story about a man named Charles Ryder who falls madly in love with the Lord Sebastian Flyte. -ahem- Yes, they're both guys, but their relationship is only implied anyway, so it doesn't really matter. xD What makes the novel so intruiging is the fact that it takes place in Depression-era England. Yes, that would indeed complicate things.
Anyway, I'm going to go watch the rest of the miniseries now, so yes, off I go. x3
