I will pulling it down out of my bookshelf, but just not at this moment.... I have a few reads lined up right now that I want to get through first! But I am excited. It is a Lost related novel as well.....


PS I loved this book. I haven't got a copy to hand, or I would join you.


You'll catch up with us, GEmma - I know I won't be reading this as fast as Anne of Green Gables (which I loved) because I don't have the audio version yet. So I'll be limited to times when I can actually sit down and read. And since football playoffs take place today and tomorrow, and my Ravens are playing tomorrow at 1, well, that will slow me down.
But I'm so looking forward to this!!!
My guess is it'll start pretty slow, because I've started this book a million times when I was younger and was never able to keep on with it.
SO I'm gonna use it for the Winter Challenge for Ann's Task. You could use it too Fiona, right?
I don't know the story, tho, never seen the film.
But WILL be seeing the film after I read it, def.!

If I had to buy every book I read, I would be in the poor house in a major way.

*taps toes*
Oh well. I gotta destinkify myself.
I did get on hold for the audiobook for this one. It is read by my favorite audiobook reader of all time - John MacDonald. He did the Father Tim books by Jan Karon, and Dracula too, and he is WONDERFUL!

Of course, my husband has drafted me into helping him clean today. My favorite thing to do!
*pings Bugs on his cottontail*

Re #38: I listened to and read JS & MN, and the audio version had all the footnotes, so I bet this one will too.
I wish I could just sit & read this! And I promised that boy I'd make him a stew too. UGH. Well almost done w/the cleaning. The only good game on tonight is the Colts, maybe I can read and watch that at the same time. It won't matter if I miss some of that one.

They beat us in '06 in the first game of the playoffs, the little b@$t@rds. So I'm really hoping the Chargers take them out tonite (tho I doubt it).


*gets Gemma to create an illusion of carrots*

Hell where is the damned road ????
*MEEP MEEP*
OK, so I was wondering how in the world you guys had so many posts in here already, but alas... its just Elmer chasing that rascally ole rabbit... hee hee!



I would like to see them remake this now, with all the super duper neat computer animation they can do.....

Fiona- I agree! I have not seen it (obviously) but think a remake with todays standards, regardless of advances, would probably not be good. I don't think I would enjoy a Pixar Fiver!!! One of the things that stuck with me, even just from flipping through cable, was the beautiful music. I love pretty much anything made in the 70's, but I know I am a minority!!!

Along the same lines, I just got the original Incredible Hulk t.v. series on DVD as a gift. It was made in the 70's, and I LOVE it! I hate the new Hulk movies. My children think the old show is a crack-up, but, even though they are teasing me, they are watching it! It just has so much more heart than any remake could.

I'm really glad we are reading this - it's definitely worth a re-read.
