I like it! I love the way Rowling connects all sorts of stuff to Roman and Greek mythology (which I love), and a lot of the spells translate into Latin or are Latin derivatives. It's so well done. IP: Logged |

I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather, Helen. Today I went to Petsmart and got a cuttlebone and some millet sprays. I went to a "gay movie" marathon hosted by a friend for National Coming Out Day (which is more like National Coming Out Week at Wellesley) this evening. It was fun, but it made me lonely, since I haven't been with anybody since my ex, and we broke up in February. :/ Then I went out with a few friends, and we watched a little SNL, though on the whole it hasn't been funny (at all) for quite a long time. I hope you have a good Thanksgiving tomorrow. IP: Logged |

The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed. 1) Look at the list and bold those you have read. 2) Italicize those you intend to read. 3) Underline the books you LOVE. 1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen If I've counted correctly that means that I have read 48 of these books. That's not bad I guess. I was really happy to see Time Traveler's Wife on the list. I loved, looks like 4 or 5. And, I intend to read all of them at some point or another in my life. :-D This was fun. ------------------ IP: Logged |

quote: Oh. Very. Dear. Number twenty-six? No bold? No itallics? Looks like i'm going to have to send you Brideshead, as well, doesn't it, missus? Most beautiful book in the English language. ... I'm a bit suspicious of this list. The BBC composed one practically identical about six years ago, at least the top ten was the same, to find 'Britain's Favourite Book!' it was also called The Big Read, and so on and so forth. Tus, I want to know how the hell The Da Vinci Code has managed to get above On The Road, Oliver Twist, The Bell Jar, Madame Boavary!, argh! Vanity Fair!? Ulysses! Some of this is criminal! Oh! Mang on. Uber discrepancy. The Bible was definately not in the beebs top ten, nor was Rowling or Pullman i don't think, and Hitchhiker's was fourth! Here's the BBC big read list... Why am i still writing this post, i have no idea who's going to be interested in all my nonsence... 1. The Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkien Rowling and Pullman are, there, obviously. I'm guessing Goblet is there as it was the last Potter published before this campaign began. OH NO! Brideshead is even lower on the BBC list, Forty Five! No! Here's a link, if anybody else is as dull as I and wished to compare. I'm not going to do my list, i don't think, seeing as i probably own all of them (i have a problem) but have read only a dozen or so. I feel sick of my self. IP: Logged |

I did bold and italics for books I love, since we can't underline. 1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen 31, bits of the Bible and the start of Rebecca. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I took munchkin's cue and also bold and italicized my favorites. 1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen Wow, only 17, I'm an embarrassment. I'm going to be honest, I've never been one for the classics, they tend to bore me. But I also think this list is off. What about Angela's Ashes, The Iliad, Canterbury Tales, Dante's Inferno, Waiting for Godot?? Don't those all count? There are so many more that I think should be a part in place of others... ------------------ [This message has been edited by Plant a Note (edited 10-15-2008).] IP: Logged |

I don't understand why The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is listed separately to The Chronicles of Narnia. Perhaps because it's more likely that people will just have read the most famous one. I also find it annoying that The Da Vinci Code is on there, and the Bible. And there should be more Roald Dahl. I'm quite proud of how many I've read but I don't think I will read many more from that list, at least not any time soon. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Zen, I'm ashamed to admit I've never even heard of the novel. But, if you say it's one of the best in the English language I WILL be getting a copy and reading it. As for ALAM, I've found a way. I went through a used bookseller in town that I've got a pretty good relationship with. He gets some new books in, too, and had this one becuase he knew there would be some interest. He's letting me "review" the book for him. (I'm reading it for free and then writing my own 3 sentence review) and then I just return the book when I'm done. He'll have it back today. I just can't fold the pages or damage the book in any way. Since I don't do that anyway (unless I choose to highlight through it) it's not a problem. But I'll get my hands on Brideshead as soon as I come into a bit of cash. Promise. ------------------ IP: Logged |

 Cool! I'd quite like to start a Pixieing Thread, but i'm not so sure that it would work, at least i can't figure out a way to make it work. It would just descend into everyone asking everyone else to buy them a specific book, wouldn't it. Hm. Yay for Evelyn Waugh though! IP: Logged |

I love recieving and giving gifts its just so.....satisfying both ways. Giving and getting. I had an idea for kepping the mooches away. First I think we should kinda have like a point system like if you give a gift than you get a point and them you can like cash in those points to get yourself something. I don't know if the ideas good or not but if you like it go ahead and use it. IP: Logged |
