  • Agent M: *points to LA* He lives there. But please don't kill him till you've checked he's finished the book, OK? And the illustrations too. (Actually, I would be wiling to place a sizeable amount of money on that being at least half the reason there's a big gap between books. The paintings. But I think they're worth it, they're SO cool.) He wrote ToA when he was 12? Wow. *boggles*

    Sam: it's usually worth-while fussing at your bookstore or library... they tend to be very nice. (I personally haven't had luck with my bookstores. but the library's been great. Props to the staff at WCL) The Tillerman series is pretty strange in terms of continuity. it's the third consecutive book about Dicey, but there are others (written before it) about James and Sammy, Jeff, and Mina. I like d 17 against the Dealer, and I loved Homecoming.

I hope. *daydreams* yeah. the Outsiders was a good book. they made a movie about it once right?? *jumps at the sound of crashing wind* there's high winds here where I live and I'm just hoping my computer doesn't go out. *crosses fingers* by the way, my school drama club is putting on a play and we are doing fiddler on the roof.

      • Birdhead: don't worry, he wasn't home and I wouldn't have killed him anyway, he needs to write the next two books. There's a book about Mina? I didn't know that... That might be interesting... I liked Mina.. And I think he wrote it when he was 12. That's what it said in the book I think.. Or something that I read...

        • Hmm... I think you should go for it, audition, and do your best, and if you don't get it... that's OK. You know? I always, always audition for stuff, and I've never regretted it. I'd much rather say "Oh, I tried for it, and I didn't get it" than say "Oh, I didn't go for it." So... yeah, I would try out. I don't know anything about the musical in question, though...

          • Tui: ok. thanks. you're absolutely right. oo and Fiddler on the Roof is good, you should try to rent the movie or something. its about a Jewish man in Russia or something who tries to marry his daughtersand realizes that times are changing. the movie is THREE HOURS LONG!! they actually made two tapes out of it because it is so long.

            *goes off singing "matchmaker" from the play* Matchmaker matchmaker make me a match, find me a find, catch me a catch. bring me a ring for I'm longing to be the envy of all I see. For papa, make him a scholar for mama, make him as rich as a king for me, well, I wouldnt holler if he were as handsome as anything.

            • I did see it, once, when I was... seven or something. So I know a few songs- like If I were a Rich man. But I forget everything else.

              • Isn't If I were a Rich Man sung by the burglar king (fegan?) in Oliver Twist? I think so... there is a Princess Diaries 4 1/2 that's like 60 pages long. I want to read the 3 & 4 ones, but I'm waiting for paperback. Ooo--I AM DYING to read:
                a) Rabbit-Proof Fence
                b) Fahrenheit 451
                c) The Eye of the World
                d) the 3 & 4 PDs
                e) a lot more
                Like Stravaganza two. Did you know that the author of Abarat, Clive Barker, is gay? In fact, I honor him for that. He wrote it on the cover of his book (inside flap about him). I think it's good for people to be open about sexuality. As far as I know, I'm straight...but heck what do I care? I think it's so mean for people to stereotype homosexuals.

                • ...Is it? Oh, maybe. I am so confused by my very nature... so probably. But I think you're thinking of a different one. *looks around* Someone who knows about this stuff... tell us...

                  I'm dying to read EVERYTHING. Practically. You know what's a crying shame? There are only five Dark is Rising books. I think it's really sad.

                  Clive Barker: yes. I always read author bios and that one's actually kinda cute. (Though no author bio has ever been better than PTerry's... "Terry Pratchett was born in Ninteen something and is still not dead." Heh.) *shrugs* yeah, I guess it's pretty brave. I would agree with you... though I think "it's so mean" is, perhaps, not the phrasing I would have used.

                  • DD's is good too, I can't remember exactly what it says but it's good. And though I don't read The Series of Unfortunate Events the dedications are very funny. Which actually has nothing to do with author bios.... or does it?

                      • I like the letters on the back of the Series of Unfortunate Events. He like tries to make you not read it. And he says that some things shouldnt be stated or something and then he tells you them its really funny. And I want to read Fahrenheit 451 too!! isnt it about a fireman and a world without books?? I didnt read it but someone did a report on it. ok maybe see you tomorrow guys.

But my favorite is Ann Coulter is Evil, because that dirty American Republican--well, let's just say if I lived in America full-time, I would be a democrat/green party/liberal...and those are her targets. McDonalds really isn't that evil. I also thought it was terrible when they said PETA was evil because it is a really good organization!!!!!!!!!
