I’m currently reading it, and Pat (the protagonist) reminds me a little of Charlie from “Flowers for Algernon.”
I also watched the movie just recently.
(The first time I saw Jennifer Lawrence appeared in the film, I couldn’t believe it; I felt like a bleeping schoolboy. This may sound cheesy, but the sight of her took my breath away! I had such a huge crush on her I laughed.
I’d probably be pulling her pigtails and flipping her skirt if we were classmates during fifth grade.)

Anyway, I love the book–is what I’m trying to say.
And the movie, too.

Didn’t know the character’s name is Diana – wow, that’s definitely a new and creatively unique name to give to a witch. :)

I’ve been looking for a copy of A Discovery of Witches but none of the Araneta Center bookstores had it. Now I don’t have to head elsewhere to hunt down a copy :D

Sophomore jinx, middle child / middle anything syndrome?
That’s it! I’m buying The Portable Dorothy Parker instead! Been eyeing the comic-y cover and nice paper for ages.
