I'm one of the few people I know who HATED HATED HATED HATED "Memoirs of a Geisha." I read the whole damn thing and couldn't bear it. Read it for a book club, otherwise I would have tossed it. What I remember most is how the geisha's scalp got so itchy because she couldn't wash her ornate hairdo, smelly, too. Yewww.... I can't write a literate review because I read it years ago and deliberately wiped it from my memory banks.

Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,
no limitations.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

Well, I saw the coming attraction for "Memoirs of a Geisha" in the theater this afternoon and was amazed. As much as I did not like the book, that's as much as I want to see the film. Though it cleaves to the book's story line, the images were so amazing and otherworldly, I felt more engaged by the trailer than I was by the entire book. I'm looking forward to the movie. For once, the movie will top the book for me...most likely. How about that!
