    Excellent, thank you for this little sypnosis.

    I didn't know you liked the series as well, ladysai! Why don't you ever stop by the ASoIaF thread?

    I do so wish I would soon be able to go back to it, too! I absolutely loved it, and had to stop for the reasons you know.

    In the meantime, I am re-reading serial detective/history novels of our great modern writer Akunin, because I know them by heart, so I don't have to strain myself in any way, and they are written so brilliantly that I enjoy them every time.

    Also reading Cathedral Cats, by Richard Surman (his are both the photos and the stories), it's non-fiction, about cats living in England at famous Cathedrals (Canterbury, Westminster, Salisbury, etc). The pictures are adorable, and the stories wonderful!

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

    bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Let's just say... Rorschach is my new desktop wallpaper.

    Are you kidding me? I fuckin' loved it! It was a little odd getting into the swing of things since I've never read a comic before :gasp: but after the first chapter I found myself really enjoying it.
    I'll definitely be looking into some other graphic novels now.

    And also, finishing it makes me so so so so excited for the movie! Dayum. It's gonna be intense.

    As a veteran comics fan, I feel obligated to point you towards Sandman.

    I just finished The Dark Tower the other day, and I've been reading some of the related material, starting with the Mist, Little Sisters of Eluria, and now I'm in the middle of Everything's Eventual. Thinking about reading Swan Song soon.

    Ben looked up and smiled. Eddie saw him simling and smiled. Richie smiled at Eddie and Ben Smiling. Richie didn't smile because they weren't smiling at him. Stan didn't know whether or not to smile at Richie not smiling because Eddie and Ben weren't smiling at him.

    i finally finished Neverwhere and i just LOVED the ending! it's great when the ending of the book makes it better than the rest of it
    now i'm reading Insomnia for the first time and i'm sad and scared already
    THANK YOU LINDA!!!!

    Human kind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth.

    finally finished the audiobook of neverwhere! neil gaiman rocks. he, in fact, rocks so much that i immediately went to audible and got american gods, anansi boys (and the special audible only intro to it), and interworld. i know, i'm a total freak reading these books and then months (sometimes years) later getting the audiobooks but sometimes there's so much more in them and sometimes you just realize that you've missed so damn much.

    plus, hearing neil gaiman reading is wonderful. and with neverwhere it was his "preferred edition" and i swear there were things in there that i absolutely do not remember being in the book.

    reading house of leaves. weird freaking book. but i think i like it. yeah, i'm pretty sure i like it. it's kind of freaking me out a little but i like it. yeah. maybe.

    Good Omens with Gaiman and Pratchett is another great read.


    *EDIT*

    Lisa! Did you know that a 3D movie of Coraline is set to release any day now?
