Jostein Gaarder is bloody brilliant! i just finished Solitaire Mystery, with a two day interval in between reading the book. call me a hyppocrite, but i have to say that i'd really make a movie out of the book. i was never an advocate of book adaptations really. but with Gaarder's rich visual descriptions, i'm itching to see it produced. itching to visit Greece and Europe at that, and buying more books of his. hmmm... if only i can find my Sophie's World.
