I'm no Ordinary Girl - by Anika Paris. I can't figure out why she isn't popular, she's great. This song was on the Bounce soundtrack. Crap movie, great soundtrack.

I used to love the Nancy Drew mysteries, as well. Perhaps not the best written books in the world, but a spunky lass who got to do cool things. :)

Howdy and Welcome!

Part of what impresses me about this book is that scary things aren't sugar coated. I'd say about the same age as would appreciate Harry Potter.

James isn't much like anyone else. I suggest you read his other works if you haven't already. You might like Edith Wharton, as well.

Narnia's on my list for a re-read. I really like Roald Dahl's works. And am very impress with Phillip Pullman's Golden Compass, although I didn't get to read it as a kiddo.

I read almost everything, tho less of philosophy, horror, and military history than anything else. Fantasy is my favorite I think.

Yep, a darling little indie band.

I have seen a number of forums of generally polite discussion become very rude over politics. There's a reason that there's that old saying about not discussing politics and religion. Even nice, adult people seem unable to be civil when discussing them. So, no, let's keep it book related...

Just finished this, I've been taking it slow as I didn't want it to end. I was impressed from start to finish, completely original, the footnotes were a hoot, and she managed to keep the narrator's tone completely Jane Austen, with perhaps a little more heart. Want to recommend it to everyone...

This thread inspired me, I had to watch the Holy Grail last night. And it was STILL FUNNY! :) I'm particularly fond of Sir Robin's Minstrels. Wolf was wondering tho, do the animated bits add to the movie, or are the just annoying. Thoughts?

I'll be giving lots of books for christmas - I'm sort of the person in charge for keeping most of the family in books. Going to try to resist getting more for me though, my TBR pile is HUGE. Of course, if some person were to shop for a few off of my Amazon wish list, that would be OK . . . :)

Howdy and Welcome. :) The rest of you: quit scaring the newbies.

Happy Birthday, and thank you for your thought provoking posts.

Wow, back from the dead!

My cat loves the tasselly bookmarks. He can completely destroy the tassel in under a minute.

Happy Birthday!

July. But I just had a supplemental run. I'll have another supplemental run in about a week.

I saw Sylvia and enjoyed it; it also inspired me to finally finish Ted Hughes's Birthday Letters. I suppose you could say the 2 films about Hunter S. Thompson would qualify: Where the Buffalo Roam and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

CD's I've recently obtained: Death Cab for Cutie - so very, very emo The Donnas - girl punk Bonnie McKee - torchy girly stuff.
