Well since this is the book club, shouldn't it have something to do with books in it?

QUOTE (Arilla @ Oct 2 2009, 11:20 PM)  Yeah? I'll have to do that. :D When college stops kicking my butt. His series starts with Merlin's parents, and then Merlin growing up and then Arthur and so it. Its great, very long though. Now I want to read them again as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) The PBS show was hard for me to watch without cringing. Haha. But I loved the books when I was a kid. From what I've heard about Watership Down and Warriors if you like those, you'll like these. Its hard to explain the premise, but its a world without humans. I dunno. I liked them a lot. Yeah! With The Sword in the Stone, some sections where replaced with others, but it was more or less the same. But The Witch in the Woods is like an extention to The Queen of Air and Darkness (which is the version used when the books are printed together). It's a hundred and sixty pages longer, and gives a much better idea of what Gawaine and his family is like. I actually read it first and was disappointed with The Queen of Air and Darkness by comparison. I'm re-reading through Warriors in my spare time right now, trying to get ready for the next cycle of it. Not to mention all the others books I'm reading at the same time. >_> Yeah, I think I may have gotten into too many things at one time . . . --- I just looked at my bookshelf, and I don't seem to have Redwall. I could have sworn I did, I must have packed it up or turned it into a used bookstore. I remember I was interested in reading it, but what I'd heard made it seem like the made the animals a little too human for my tastes. Going through the books on my shelves was great though. I saw Island of the Blue Dolphins on there, and that is one the best books ever. |

Oh my gawd, I remember that book! We read it in fifth grade, and I started reading ahead and my teacher told me not to, but I had it at home, so I read the rest of it there, and was done days before the class. xDDD It was an awesome book, if not a little sad. :( And then there was Animal Farm that we read in seventh. After we read it, we watched some different versions of the movie. One live-action one I thought was even better than the book; but only because it had a more satisfying ending. :] What I'm really into right now is the Truth series by Dawn Cook. It's so good! I finished the first one about a week ago, but I haven't been able to go to the store to get the next one!! *cries* But I found this thing on Google, called Google Books, where you can Google a book, and actually read it online!! :D But it warns that some pages might be omitted. :( |
