If You're Scoring at Home or Even if You're Alone

So where am I? Currently I'm reading Atonement by Ian McEwan as chosen by Justin. So far I don't expect this to be atop my favorite books' list. Its about a wealthy English family and it seems like every character is very neurotic and unsure of themselves. A movie was made of this book a few years back which received critical success winning an Oscar and being nominated for several others. I remember I only made it through about twenty minutes or so of it. But that was before the quest and now I must surge forth and vanquish this book.
