(Off-topic) For italics, Pip, just click on the “I” in the list above the post box and then click it again when you want to go back to regular text.

Or just highlight the word you’d like to italicize, and then click the I button. Either way works.

I’ve always been wary of dramatizations. We bought the BBC radio dramatization of Lord of the Rings at a library book sale once, and, believe it or not, though it was made in the 1970s or ’80s, they cut everything that the movie cut! Plus, the battles were pretty dumb. Whenever there was a fight or a battle, it was just a whole lot of yelling. You could never tell what was going on.

Of course, then we decided to try their dramatization of The Hobbit. That was sort of weird, because they kept changing narrators. First it would be a narrator, and then Bilbo would narrate, and then the narrator would come back. Kind of confusing. But they kept the story pretty well, I think. Oh, and they kept pronouncing people’s names wrong! Like Gollum became “Golloom”.

Alrighty, we’ll have to check it out.

My favorite one is probably the sixth one. Anne’s kids are so funny!

C Triebold, I can’t speak for Pip, but after that many books you start to make lists not in “top ten” but in “top 100”!

My mom started writing down the books that each of us kids have read when I was, I don’t know, in the 10-13 range. She still does it now, and I have no idea what my count is!

*pops in*

I don’t particularly like poetry, so I’m really dreading the test I have to take on literature soon. It’s 35-45% poetry! *shudders*
