I just read The City of Ember, and I've been reading reviews for The People of Sparks while I impatiently wait till I can buy the book, and people seemed to think it was left relatively open. So does anyone know if Jeanne Duprau will be writing a third Ember book?

Sorry, this is probably WAY off, but maybe "The City of Ember"?

Elijah Wood, Anthony Hopkins, and Cate Blanchett. I think Jude Law's gorgeous though, especially in Gattaca.

Who's Mary R Rinehart?

My all-time favourites are: J.M.Barrie J.R.R.Tolkien C.S.Lewis Lewis Carroll Emily Bronte L.M.Montgomery Cornelia Funke Arthur Ransome R.L.Stevenson Louisa May Alcott A.A.Milne Arthur Conan Doyle E.Nesbit

I'm going to (hopefully) finish my arguing about LOTR here. I read LOTR long before the movies even came out, so I am not caught up in the "hype" about the books. Furthermore, I forgot to mention that I even know Gimli's "favourite food", as someone insisted was an important part of...

You bet it can. You sound more like you're basing your conceptions of the characters on the movies rather than the books, which have less time to develop character. To pick on Gimli again, he is not so simple as you make him out to be. He cares deeply about his people and was horribly upset...

So many! But especially... The Hobbit - 5 times LOTR - 3 times (and I'm reading it now) Wuthering Heights A Study in Scarlet Alice in Wonderland (and Through the Looking Glass) The Narnia books Swallows and Amazons Emily of New Moon

There's been a giant leap in the number of children's fantasy books since HP and the LOTR movies. Has anyone read the Artemis Fowl series? Or Jenny Nimmo's Charlie Bone books? Or the Eragon books? Or The City of Ember and The People of Sparks, by Jeanne Duprau? Sorry, but there's a lot of...

How can you say there's no plot? There's an entire world in his books, it extends forwards and backwards in time. Did you notice the Ring, or did that slip your observation? And Gandalf was one of the most important characters - without him, Frodo would never have made it halfway to Moria...

I thought that this attitude was dying, but apparently it still thrives in some people. I wasn't aware that women were doomed only to write romance. I wonder if you've ever heard about Emily Bronte? When she wrote Wuthering Heights, she wrote it under a male pseudonym because her publishers...
