My first attempt was a story about seven wild dogs who lived in a cave and had lots of happy adventures. This later spawned an epic series of the same story. I wrote a biography for each of the dogs and got up to DOGS 6 on the real story. It was...quite interesting. I was about 8 years old. And...

Okay, so I have this recurring dream that I'm in an elevator. But it's out of control. It shoots up so fast that I have to cling to the floor and when it goes down, I "fall" up to the ceiling. Very uncomfortable. I always try in my dreams to avoid the elevator, but I end up getting on it anyway...

Wow...6 in the morning? :eek: I think the latest I've stayed up is about 2:30. After awhile I get so tired I just can't focus and I find myself reading the same paragraph over and ovet yet not absorbing any of it. That's when I find it's time to put the book down. I think both Terry Goodkind...

I'm not kidding. I was in the area and the bookstore I worked for had flyers for it. So, I went. I was there. It actually wasn't THAT awesome. There were these huge boxes of books and every book was $1. Most of them were non-fiction things I've never heard of, but there was a hardback edition of...

Thanks for the article! I didn't get the chance to read the whole thing but I bookmarked it and will continue at a later time :) Keith Richards and Johnny Depp starring together...I'd have never guessed.

So, has anyone here seen the latest installment of the pirate saga? I saw it a couple hours ago with some friends and I actually thought it was pretty good. I saw 'actually' because all the critics in my city gave it around 1 1/2 stars. Sure, it won't be up for an oscar (except maybe for special...

Okay, I did that but it still says I'm subscribed to 145 threads :eek: I just spent a few minutes checking all the boxes next to my subscribed threads and deleted them 40 at a time. Hopefully that will solve things. If not...we'll figure that out when it's necessary :rolleyes: Thanks, Occlith!

So, I'm getting about 15 emails a day notifying me of new replies to threads I've responded to. How do I make them stop? There MUST be an option somewhere to turn it off...maybe I just haven't looked hard enough :rolleyes: Anyway, thanks!

I'm guessing it was one of those assingments where you get to pick any book and then present it to class. With limits of course. I can easily see Deception Point being chosen over Rainbow Party which msnbc summarazies as 'teens planning for an o**l s*x party. Ummm....why is this in the teen...

I'm 17 as of yesterday :) I read mostly fantasy. My favorite authors are George R.R. Martin, J.R.R. Tolkien, Brandon Sanderson, Stephen King, Tamora Pierce...I could go on for awhile. I tend to stay away from the 'teen' sections of bookstores just because the books there are so DULL. I never...

Granted but it's actually an evil-demon-Samoyed puppy and the first day you get it, it mauls you in your sleep. You only half your face though! Look at the bright side. I wish finals were a figment of the imagination.

I think the books are amazing though Stewart has a point that they are a bit dry at times. I enjoyed his style of writing but it's not something that I'd want to read everyday. I still have 3 copies of the series though. One leatherbound hardback omnibus. One paperback omnibus. And one...

Yep, it was Deathly Hallows. You're all probably going to hate me for saying this, but I kinda hope Harry dies. I really like tragic endings (are you with me Hamlet? ;)). I'm not saying I want Voldemort to take over the world. He should die too. And then Ron and Hermy should get married. If...

I used to keep a book journal in which I wrote down favorite passages, characters..etc. I haven't written in the journal for about 3 months but reading everyone's opinions, I think I might take it up again.

Well, Tolkien doesn't say outright that Frodo dies, but I suppose you could use the Gray Havens as a metaphore for death. That's how I interpret it. Just a glorified version of death. I always cry at the end of the Return of the King (both book and movie).

I have read both Eragon and Eldest and enjoyed them. I think Eragon was better, but that's usually the way books in a series run. The last I heard, the final book is expected around summer of 2008. Too long! I just watched the movie for the third time and I have to agree with all of you that it...

Hi Marycathie. I'm a fan of the fantasy genre as well so hopefully we'll get to exchange some ideas on favorite books. Welcome!!! :)

Hi Nikki! Welcome to Book and Reader! Hope you enjoy your stay.

I just read the first novel of this series and really liked it. I can't wait to start the sequel. But as my funds are limited, I'm going to have to wait until I get a little more $$ Harry is such an awesome character. Maybe he can come to my school and figure out the mystery of the nun that...
