has anyone read this book? You may have heard of the mini series made in 1983, but it was origionally a book by Colleen McCullugh. It's very very long, but sooooooo good! There's drama, drama drama, and all that good stuff. I HIGHLY recommend you reading it rather than watching the movie. I haven't ever seen the movie, but it sounds like it's based more on one of the story lines of the novel, instead of focusing on all of the other characters like the novel does. now go read it! GO GO GO!

"That's so unrealistic. A priest falling in love...with a woman."- Beth Littleford

Sorry, I couldn't resist. I haven't read the book or seen the movie, but I've heard its good.
"We are made to bleed
And scab and heal and bleed again
And turn every scar into a joke
We are made to fight
And f**k and talk and fight again
And sit around
And laugh until we choke"
