Sure wish she'd give some clues about when the next book is coming out.

Okay, this is a book that I picked up at a flea market to relieve boredom when I was around ten. I believe the title was "Seven Stars to Sunday". I can't remember the characters' names but it was about two foster kids who kept getting presents in their mailbox until their final present was a...

Lies & Townbear-- Have either of you played a new game called Cranium? It looks interesting to me but I haven't shelled out the thirty dollars yet.

I'm still trying to puzzle out the Silmarillion. It's been beside the bed for about a year now, and I still can't bring my self to start it again. I got about halfway through last time but just forgot about it.

I read a bit of it and it sounds as though her logic is solid. There was also a t.v. special on a couple of months ago which advanced this same theory, but I don't remember if Cornwell was associated with the show.

I also thought the film was really good, considering what I was expecting when I went in to see it. Maybe I just remember it as a good movie as compared to Star Bores, which I also saw that weekend.

Oh, come on!!! Did you read the word irony? I just thought it was funny. Let's move on.

You mean like the one in your Clancy post? Sorry, I don't mean this to be mean, but you've got to see the irony.

Don't know if anyone else has read it yet, but I was very annoyed with the end of Lamb by Christopher Moore. It just didn't complete the story in my opinion.

Marie-- I love Monk. I watched it a lot the beginning of the summer, but fell off in the end and am just now catching up on the episodes I missed. I think it's hilarious. I was also a Trading Spaces addict for a while but am rarely home to see the new ones anymore. They did have some of...

David-- Thanks for the recommendation. I just ordered some Welsh language CD's from work. I'll let you know if any of them have good pronunciation technique.--jessica

Dawn-- Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Sure, I would do a review for it. It wasn't a great book, but was an interesting beginning, because it obviously has a sequel. Anyway, if you set up the page, I'll try to put a review on it sometime this week.--jessica

Yeah, Little Men is pretty good. Not as good as Little Women, buit not bad either. I only read it once, whereas I've reread Little Women a lot.

Dafydd-- If you are Welsh you should read the books. Lloyd Alexander based them on Welsh mythology and the terrain of Wales. I read the books as a kid, but didn't realize the Welsh corrolation until I started doing academic Welsh research. By the way, do you speak Welsh? I have tried to...

The cat shoots a mauser? Hahahahaha!! Okay, guess it was just me.

I read far too many kids' books for a twenty-two year old, but my favorite authors are the ones I loved when I was actually a kid. Lloyd Alexander, C.S. Lewis, and Lucy Maud Montgomery. Montgomery doesn't really fit with the others, but I'm also a big fan of Little Women, and what girl can...

I picked up this book b/c of the novelty of Clive Barker writing a children's book(turns out it's his second). After reading the first few chapters it seems to be pretty interesting. Has anyone else heard of it or started reading it?

Diego---Funny Avatar!!!

My list of favorite kids' books would be far, far too much for you. Although Harry Potter is a great series, I'll have to put my absolute favorite as a tie between Little Women and the Prydain Chronicles. By the way, does anyone know definitively how Prydain is pronounced?

I also remember hating Heart of Darkness, and the Secret Sharer for that matter, maybe just not a Conrad fan? However I love reading Canterbury Tales in medieval English, must be the history major in me. I never got past the first few pages of Finnegan's Wake. On the other hand, I forced...
