    Anyone ever read or watched Lorna Doone? I hated the book and liked the newest adaptation they made, though the sweethearts left things unsaid, and it was like you could hear the words floating between them, unspoken. It drove me nuts!

    I once tried to read The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and didn’t get through the second chapter. Now, years later, I may try again. I LOVE the Disney version of that, it’s so multi-layered and well-made; the funny gypsy man that flies around making everyone excited it sentimental to me, because besides loving him over any other character, I fashioned one of my own book characters after him.

    My very favorite part of the whole series was in the first chapter of the first book:

    “I’ll never deny my King.” *in goes the sword, screaming and hurling and etc.*

    Glorious!

    What exactly does that mean?

    I shall counter that Shakespeare with yet another Shakespeare:

    “All the world’s a stage.” ~~~You-know-who :)

    I can look at picture books over and over if they have pictures I like.

    Read Martyr of the Catacombs, it was weird. Too glorious and not enough sweat and blood! Yes, we KNOW about the martyrs being so grand, but WHY??? Not enough detail in that area.

    Ooh, yeah! I read that one in a day. The Summer of the Monkeys got my dad crying for the beauty of it; so did Mama’s Bank Account, come to think of it! Loverly books.

    Yeah, somewhere along those lines, maybe in between…I just hope that if they do make a movie, they’ll make Robby cool (cause I loved him) and they won’t make Aidan plumpy, as described once in TDW; that made me mad! I don’t picture Aidan as being fat!!!!

    Oh, the movie (based on the first three books) is actually very good!

    Yeah, that was always annoying. I mean this pic on Google is an up-close headshot, showing all of his face!

    What was VFD, anyway? He kept changing it around so many times that I couldn’t tell!

    I’m apprehensive about LS’s worldview in the last book. Is he saying that Eve taking the fruit in the first place was a good thing, to save us from ignorance? (Think about the island they were on; brainwashing, dictatorship, the list goes on and on!) Or is it that the B’s kept on suffering in their unfortunate world proof that sinning was a bad thing and should never have happenened?
