My closest book is AWAl!!

My closest book is Goddess by Mistake by P.C. Cast.

Well, I'd better think about it now.

It's a little heavy on the sex and gore, but it's a good book. And, of course, it's science fiction.

SCIENCE FICTION RULES!!!!

Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.

crookedfrog13: Hexwood by Diana Wynne Jones happens to be the closest book to me now; it's one of my favorites.

"- was you! I knew by the way you walked." - 1rst line of 46th page of Hexwood.

I told you I like Hexwood. I must admit that it took three re-readings for me to fully understand it, though. Sometimes I get the feeling that Diana W. Jones either writes for adults or thinks that we teens are geniuses.

[crookedfrog13]

I think I prefer the latter.

Surprisingly enough, DWJ actually thinks that children are far more attentive and involved readers than adults are --in fact, she actually makes a point of 'writing down' to adults! She expounds upon these points (and others concerning the various supposed freedoms [and what she feels turn out to be actual limitations] concerning writing for adults [as opposed to writing for children]) in this very interesting article.

Well not ALWAYS, Birdhead. Remember that observation that WAW might be the last book? We were both wrong on that one. Sorry; I couldn't resist.
