Yes it did : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t6W9...

I've never seen the movie but that is my plan for week 3, the book, and then the movie (with the subtitles...!)

Yasmina Ra | 74 comments Dad have always told me that I should read The Origin of Species, but I never did, I can tell it is not an easy read. I would like to hear from you after you read it! :)

I liked so much Empire of Ants :)
I've Origin of Species since the last summer in my reader, but I never started it. Some opinions on it will be nice.

Audrey G. Perreault (audrey_gperreault) | 7 comments I'll be glad to share my opinions about Origin of Species with you. I bought it a long time ago, but I never had the courage to read it. When I moved to another country, I even brought it with me.... Here is my chance to read it.
As for Empire of the ants, I just realized that it is written in French (Les fourmis)! So, a little bit less challenging for me...!

Cait (clickcait) | 480 comments I'm reading Pride and Prejudice this week and I'm really enjoying it. Hope you enjoy it when you get to Week 9. :-)

Good luck with the challenge.
