MemberYou go, Alassiel! I started Redwall a few days before my 12th. b-day and gobbled it up in four days. (Back then, that was fast reading:)) An Alice in Wonderland movie? Heaven forbid! That book might be mastered with animation, but not with real people! I hope that’s not what you mean…
MemberWhat’s that?
Yeah, the eagle of the ninth is, I believe, a standard that they carry into battle…standard meaning a few ribbons on a pole with an ugle bronze eagle perched on the top, not meaning ethics.
MemberHas anyone ever cried over a ‘sad’ book?
Betsy and the Emperor wasn’t sad, but I cried with the sheer beauty of the writing. Bambi was kind of sad, but the writing was like poetry!
Okay, READ EMBER campaign or sad and…ahem!…meloncholy books. We need imput, people!
MemberNutty meaning wild and fun, doncha know.
MemberThe Secret of the Desert Stone (Peretti), 156 pages. These Peretti books are short and swift, and belong to an eight-book series called The Cooper Kids Adventures. You’ll be seeing a few more of these, no doubt…
The Case for Christianity (Lewis), 56 pages (Mere Christianity is like an extended version of this book)
The Sword Bearer (White), 294 pages. A Lewis copycat, this was, in my opinion, admirable in the highest sense!
Shepherd of the Highlands (Bear), 157 pages
Running Total: 3,332 pages!!!
MemberOur library has a teen program that counts every 50 pages a book. Okaaaaay, so I read hundreds of books last summer??!!! I don’t think I’m gonna do it this year, since this nutty Read-a-Thon is keeping me hopping, not to mention keeping my math skills greased!
MemberThere’s only so much you can say about one book, esp. if you’ve never read it! Perhaps we should change this discussion to sad and dreary books that we hated or loved. The Anne books (Montgomery) are kinda like that; I LOVE those books! They’re just hard to start, but impossible to leave alone for long periods of time. Nobody EVER read The Beaded Moccasins! The worst book I have ever encountered, almost, and read all the way through. Eldest was no peach, either.
MemberAnyone ever tried The Eagle of the Ninth? I’ve finally gotten through the first chapter!!! (Hoorays and applause…)
MemberLucy Maud Montgomery. That was a strange book…
King of the Wind (great book!).
MemberOh, NOW I know who you’re talking about…no, I hate Inigo! The Door Within would be an awesome movie, as good as Narnia if they spent their time wisely. I think someone actually was considering making a movie of that! And they’ve made little cartoons of Redwall and Mattimeo…if you haven’t seen ’em, see ’em! They’re some of my favorite cartoons, and the rodents are adorable!
MemberBy all means, RE-READ IT! Well worth yer time! What about “Christy”? That was a pretty good book.
MemberCity of Ember sounds sad! And dark! I once thought about writing a story in which a city (or village, that’s better) is lunar-powered, but got thrown off when a snobby kid told me that is would actually be solar-powered, since the light technically came from the sun! Grr…
MemberSeeing as how no one’s answered The Road, I guess we don’t know it. What is it?
Meanwhile:) Gone-Away Lake
MemberRabbit Hill’s SUCH A CUUUUTE BOOK! Anybody ever read Benjamin West and his Cat Grimalkin, or Carry On, Mr. Bowditch? Two favorites of my dad’s.
MemberUh…I mean the guy with the blond hair and the funny black suit. I wish It’s a Wonderful Life was based on a book! Man, I love that movie!!!
