Matilda and Laura

Finished Matilda the other night.  I liked this one.  Although I really don't remember much of it, and come to think of it don't really remember much about the movie either - not enough to know where they were different.  Have the movie on VHS somewhere, will have to watch it soon :)

Finished Little House in the Big Woods last night.  I started this book *ages* ago, in our last house I think so probably nearly a year a go.  There's not much in the way of plot in this book, it's just a series of recollections about their life in "outback" Wisconsin in the 1800s.  As a history lesson it's fantastic!  Descriptions about all sorts of things they used to do to get by and making cheese and using every part of a pig etc.  I actually found it fascinating.
