Ah, books. I love books. *hugs book* Let's see... most favoritest books... (I've read far too many to put them all on here...)
Tad Williams books: all four Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn books the Otherland Series Shadowmarch: Vol. 1 (the second must come out soon... must....) The War of the Flowers
Very much LotR stuff..... R.L. Silverstein: Demon Awakes Sea of Swords Starless Nigh (love Drizzt)
Terry Goodkind: a whole lot that I can't remember...
And all of the Robert Jordan books (11, I believe...) that have been written yet.
All of the Harry Potter books.... (June 16th! June 16th!! Or is it July... *is writing at an hour too late for coherent thought.. I swear it's June...)
Loads of Shakespeare.... Hamlet, King Lear, Romeo and Juliet, Midnight Summer's Dream, Julius Ceasar, Much Ado About Nothing, Seventh Night.... more....
And that doesn't even begin it....

o, it's July. *tear* In the little town where my mom works the book store might be coordinating this thing to make teh whole main street like Diagon Alley, and I may help with it. Useless information CAN come in handy! I just got a Peter Pan tie-in called Peter and the Starcatchers...wonder if Jandalf knows about it.

Some of my favorites:
All X-Files books (the best was Ruins though) Blood and Chocolate Harry Potter (Favorite was #4) The Last Unicorn The Firebringer I am Morgan LeFay Most of the Animorph Series MIB: Green Saliva Blues Switchers (both books) Hawksong (One of the best) Demon in my View In the Forests of the Night The Last Book in the Universe (Great book)
I know there is a lot, but I love reading. I'm attracted to the stranger stuff, much of which is found buried somewheres in my library. I have a ton of books that I have still yet to read which are hiding in my closet.
I'm sure there are more books, but I'll have to remember them later.

I have never heard of those books before.. They sound cool though.. I am more into the romance type of books rather than the mystery type books..

My 5th and 6th grade teacher was crazy about that book, but for sum reason we never did read it....
I have it upstairs and I actually got it from her. I'd like to read it.
Actually I got the whole Narnia series as a gift from this teacher. I had written up a recommendation for her and she gave me all this stuff as a gift. Twas a good year...

Ah, I loved a Wrinkle in Time. Read it in fourth grade..... though I was mightily confused, at that point. The other ones were good, though, at the moment, I can't remember who writes them. Her name starts with an 'M'...
Bleah.

'Fear is the Mind-killer...'
I've only read the first one. Beautiful... and confusing. The Fremen are my heroes.
Never watch the old movie... bad acting, bad animation, some of the characters are too old, some too young, some too Sting... THEY KILLED MY FEYDH!!!!

ieek! Feyd is scary...Fremen are awsome. If I could get contacts like those eyes it would be an epitome of cool...and that litany is written all over around here...Heh. The animation of the old flick was really cheesy though. The shields? Laughable. And laugh i did.

Oh yeah. And the Spice Barons? They weren't supposed to be the Squid People... I spent much of that movie laughing, as well. And the Fremen's eyes weren't always blue... that annoyed me...
