MemberHOW in the WORLD did we overlook them???????? *is shocked beyond belief*
*recovers*
Alrighty, I was first introduced to Narnia when Mom and Dad bought the FotF CD dramatization and we listened to it as a family in the winter. I’d only been reading book books for a bit, and had just started keeping my Archives (my list of every book I read, which went rampant last summer with the R.A.T.!). I was astonished to find talking animals and magical elements in a Christian story and was fascinated because I LOVED that sort of thing, having been a wild child since birth and devoting all my toys to hours of play wherein I made them talk and have adventures. To my further glee, I discovered they were based on books. Which we had. 8O I immediately dusted off the series, which had been hiding in a bookcase nook ever so long, and began to gobble them up. I remember happy hours spent reading under a coffee table where there was a heater vent and even back then, getting rather cramped.
I finished the LWW on New Year’s Day when I was 10, and since then I’ve had it read aloud to me twice, have read the whole series, and have had to read to me. I know what fauns are, I probably got my obsession with little poofie goodies from Reepicheep and I have made C.S. Lewis the author who pops into my head when someone asks me my favorite, even tho’ I have many.
MemberNasty old thang.
Ignore the question I confronted ya with, Alyosha, you are doing NaNo and you must lemme read it or I shall personally come and delete the whole thing!!!
Nasty about the email. I’m surprised you have time to even respond!!! I know if I were doing NaNo I would look like one of Edgar Poe’s characters by December 1.
What’s Gladiator???
Speaking of which, I’ve decided I loik gladiator movies! Demetrius and the Gladiators is nasty, tho’, so don’t watch it!!!
*looks lazily about the room* Garbonzo Bean is in my room watching a movie, I cannot return to Thr3e until she’s a good part into it, or I shall be more a tyrant that I have been ever since our puppy started running from our calls and tearing about the yard, and the pictures I took turned out black on the screen and I was gloomy over supper and the tea spilled and I snapped at everyone and we watched iSundae II bloopers and I came on here…yup, it’s been a high ol’ time!
MemberOoh, yeah that would be cool!
Lucky you! I hadn’t even heard about LotR until one Christmas when Camirryn got the movies fer Christmas, and we up and watched ’em one night. She and the Girls huddled on the couch, Katsy with a pillow for her eyes in case it got too violent, and me sitting all intense on the chair. I dunno how old I was, but I definitely wasn’t 13.
*gets back on topic with a blustery blowing of the shnoze*
December second!!! We have it in our Netflix que, but I’ll bet there are tons of those unfortunates who didn’t git ta see it in the theatres so they all have it in theirs, as well.
MemberStill, most tragic.
MemberI don’t blame you! Oh, if I’d been there…*smack; punch; whop; “Please! Please, I’ll let them stay! “Don’t care!” bop*
Anyone who discourages, evades or otherwise condemn books should be “burned alive and then beaten to death, and then put on bread and water” for the rest of their miserable lives!!
MemberOh, are you doing NaNo this year?
I’m reading Ivanhoe at night to put me to sleep!
MemberWhen I was babystting for several homeschool families after a co-op we did in the fall, we played Freeze Tag so much that I don’t loik it now!!!
Ohhh, Balderdash!! I love that game! Only played it once but I loved it! We loik doing chess around here and Camirryn used to play all sorts of brain-twisting computer games when we lived in Arkansas. The Girls and I love playing charades, and we’ve devised all sorts of quirky games including movie, book and listening tape characters interacting, as well as folkses from my writings. Anyone heard of Homeschoolopoly? That game rocketh!!!
MemberI dunno…wot with all this candy and these books, we are capable of anything!!!
MemberThe first (thus far in my readings) is about a town that requires everyone to wear the same color cloak, make their houses look the same, and one sect of the town, called Periods, delcare what is true about the artifacts in the musuem. Then several of the townspeople, called Minnipins, are exiled because they don’t conform to the overbearing laws.
Ahum.
MemberFunny how sequels sometimes do that. What’s the meaning of the title?
MemberWhere in the world did you find all that???
*brings in some Milk Duds and Tootsie Rolls, and breaks out the sardines*
Ok, scratch that last bit.
*lugs in an armfull of good-smelling books.* Warning! Do NOT eat these!
MemberI’m doing the first now and I think it’s really foony! I love the names, and the whole atmosphere of it is lush and colorful.
Why didn’t you like the second?
Member*follows suite*
MemberIt is unique!
Member*hugs Sarah for the cake, smearing a blodge of icing on her new velvet cloak…or, whatever that repulsive garment is* Yay, it’s over!!! It’s November, but it’s actually over!!! Now I shall cry. :cry:
Heheh @ Alyosha. I love delicious smelling books! I have a great many. Good smelling books, I mean.
