| Passionate Fan  | I read Memoirs of a Geisha in 6th grade. My mother freaked out all her friends by telling them that. I never finished it though and I really want to. Now that this thread is started I might read it. School's out in 4 days, I could start then. Anyway, from what I remember about the book, I loved it. I love Japanese culture and it's cool to look at it from another perspective. __________________ Come stop by the Books Board for a visit. 148.94 million square kilometers on the face of the Earth, and I plan on walking every single one of them!

| I've had the book for almost a year now and I still haven't properly read through it. I've skimmed, yes, and I like what I've read so far. It's my to-finish list though, and that's a long one. __________________ Every song ends, but that's no reason not to enjoy the music. | |||

| I remember reading reviews of this book when it first came out and I heard so many great things about it. I just never got around to reading it unfortunately. So I came in here hoping to find out what I was missing  | |||

| I've read this book and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm quite interested in the whole culture and subject matter of the book so it made very interesting reading. Plus when I picked it up I couldn't put it down! __________________ "Honest to God, he's as cool as you like!" - Brian about Danny T's now legendary one-pointer. | |||

| Elite Fan | I know what you mean, and also the fact that you feel that Sayuki (the lead character) is telling you, in person, her stoyry. Well at least that's what happened to me.... To even talk about the book, makes me feel happy __________________ "I want to see her, in another country protesting for the rights of house-elves, generally making the world a better place, and hopefully being married to Ron and have lots of beautiful babies.

| Corrsfanre- the whoel geisha journey of Sayuki was thrilling... I mean you just had to read to see what would happen. I hated Hatusmano(sp?-The girl who tried to stop Sayuki from becoming a geisha) but I ended up feeling bad for her because she died as a drunken prosititute. The characters in Memoirs have so much depth and I would love to read it again... It's such a wonderful book... Hehe I was so in love with it when i read the book... So good. So good.

| A friend of mine lent this book to me last week, and I started reading it today. I didn't think I was going to like it, but I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. It was fantastic. | |||

| Well, this thread's been dead for over a year but I just read this book so I thought I'd pitch in my two cents and say that I really enjoyed it as well. I also hated Hatsumomo, but at the same time did feel pity for her. I thought it was just overall very nicely done and I certainly feel like I now know more about Japanese culture. | |||
