I finished Julie & Julia a couple of days ago. Now I am even more excited to see the movie. The book was really funny and I love Julie's attitude. You gotta love a book laced with profanity. I just hope they didn't soften Julie for the movie.
I will say that I don't know how she cooked all those recipes. I was in Border's last night and flipped through Julia's Mastering the Art of French Cooking and was immediately intimidated. Plus in Julie's book, she recounts how she extracted marrow from a bone and repeatedly committed "lobster murder." Most of the recipes call for ingredients I wouldn't even know the first place to find. I doubt Publix carries marrowbones.
I can't wait for the movie. Now I'm reading Firefly Lane. It's my next Book Club pick. It tells the story of two lifelong friends as they come of age during the 70s and 80s. So far I love it. I'll keep you updated.
