I'm glad you loved it! It's a really amazing book.

To be honest, I thought it was better than the movie.

Anyways, I hope you have a great lunch date tomorrow. :)
You should read The House of Many Ways by Diana Jones. It features Sophie and Howl.

In a lot of ways I agree with that but I do think that the movie did a really great job adapting the book. I think both are really fantastic.
Oh, thank you! I am sure I will.
I'll definitely look into it, I had read that she wrote more, but I have yet to check it out.

Don't get me wrong. Miyazaki's film is amazing. One of his best.
And yes. You should definitely look into her other writings.

I'm reading Flowers for Algernon for my English class.
It's a novel that tells the first person account of a mentally handicapped man who undergoes a surgery to gradually increase his intelligence.

And for my personal enjoyment, I'm going through the entire works of Edgar Allen Poe.

Flowers of Algernon was the fall play at my school, I think it was really interesting in play form. Is it good as a book?
