Tracy wrote: "I agree! This would definitely be great if Tim Burton did the movie. He did a wonderful job with Coraline."Tim Burton didn't direct Coraline. Henry Selick directed it. Selick also directed The Nightmare Before Christmas, which Burton produced.
To the best of my knowledge, Burton had nothing to do with the making of Coraline.
90. Maurice by E.M. Forster.Easily one of my favorite love stories. :)
I usually take three or four books with me when I go on vacation. Sadly I cannot read in the car (I get carsick when I try), but I'll read on trains, planes, and boats. I managed to read all of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea when I was on vacation a few years back. The main purpose of that vacation was so I could see the ocean for the first time. ;)
89. Bend Sinister by Vladimir Nabokov
