Hey Imran, Because of you......

[johncmcleod]

I'm reading it at night to Bunnygrrl, one chapter at a time. Imran's correct, they do get better and better. I think four was better than five though.

Ooh, nothing better then internet love stories. Did you meet on Apolyton? How romantic!

Just kidding. No hard feelings. I shouldn't be talking, because I've never had a girlfriend in my life. [not sure which smiley or 'frowney' to use there]

Anyway, I read the first 4 and they are pretty good but I'm kind of at the age where they aren't very good. It can't compare to Lord of the Rings or a classic or anything.

Speaking of good books, has anyone read Ishmael by Daniel Quinn? I've never read a book or seen a movie that changed my life, but that book is as close as you can get. It is changing the way I view life.

From BOOK-A-MINUTE comes.....The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring CONDENSED!!!!

Gandalf
Bilbo Baggins, your Ring is evil. In a couple decades, we'll try to destroy it. In the meantime, leave it for Frodo to play with.
Bilbo Baggins
It's not evil. It's mine. My precious. Mine! MINE, I TELL YOU!! MOOHOOHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
(Frodo takes it to RIVENDELL. Some FRIENDS come with him. They are attacked by black riders a LOT, and it is SCARY.)

Elrond
Frodo Baggins, if Sauron ever gets this Ring, the world will be destroyed, and evil will reign forever. We must act quickly. Take the Ring to where he lives.
(They do some travelling. Some more FRIENDS come with him. Gandalf DIES in the mines of Moria, but will later be RESURRECTED in GLORIFIED form having triumphed over EVIL, an obvious literary ALLUSION to that movie where the guy comes back as a DOG.)

Boromir
Frodo Baggins, give me the Ring.
Frodo
No.
Boromir
What have I done? (dies)

Now that I have your attention, my pretties, here is how you perform satanic rituals and become demons.

I knew Imran had some kind of evil plan up his sleeve . . .

I've seen one Harry Potter movie and it was quite enjoyable.

[Tuberski]

I am currently about 300 pages into The Goblet of Fire.

I read the second and third books in about a 2 days each, football and work taken into account.

I actually went and bought the fourth because her writting is very enjoyable and paced so that it isn't boring.

My stepson, who never even opened the books up, has also read the first and is reading the second.

My feeling is that, being 12, he thought they would be too childish for him, but after seeing me read them he's really gotten into them.

Hopefully, he will get the reading bug from this, otherwise I may have to break out some Encyclopedia Brown.



ACK!
