    Oooookaaaaay! The Eagle of the Ninth is moving along faster. (Wild cheering.)

    The Hound of the Baskervilles was actually very good, but NEVER watch the movie! I couldn’t sleep for several nights…

    Ivanhoe, huh? I’m eyeing that one warily, watching the dust collect. Silas Marner is a good book…if you wish to fall asleep very quickly. Listen to the Focus on the Family dramatization instead! Much better.

    Yup, ‘children’s’ classics count. Winnie the Pooh is so cute! It gets funnier as you get older.

    Yeah, The Last Battle was a tear-jerker; I only read the first 50 or so pages of Les Miserables, but was apalled at the tragic movie adaptation.

    Good grief, I HATE those books that are a spin-off of an original book, written by a different and usually inferior author.

    Ooh, that was good! The fact that Johnny Depp plays Willy Wonka is odd in and of itself, but that was about the only weird thing about that newer version. The book is fresh and entertaining, as well.

    The Spirit is Willing (Baker), 135 pages. One of the worst books I’ve ever read!!! Don’t bother.

    Running Total: 3,467 pages

    Oh. Welllll, let us wait with clasped hands and eyes lifted skyward. (Poetical me!) Tim Burton rings a faint bell…did he direct or help to direct something else?

    Off-topic, since I’m reading it for school next year (growls of impatience) : Alyosha, I totally agree! I loathe, despise and abominate abridged books!!! P’raps we should begin a cyberized protest rally: Down with abridged books and back-cover spoilers!

    I’ve seen some of Ted Dekker’s stuff, they look scary! John White’s Archives of Anthropos are Narnia copycats, but they are suprisingly engaging. I’ve only read the first one, The Sword Bearer, and really liked it.
