    I am SOOO excited for the new movie... and I'm glad I'm not the only one who rereads the trilogy occasionally... Even though it usually takes me a few months to get through lol.

    I haven't read it in about 15 years. I just bought it for my kindle, and plan to start it soon! Reading a forgotten realms trilogy right now, The Last Mythal

    Dr Phil's "The Ultimate Weight Solution"
    Ya never know, I might learn something after all these years. I've heard it's a good motivational book, if nothing else. I bought it about 4 years ago, then there were other issues more important. I just dug it out of one of the junk drawers. :laugh:

    The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell
  • Peter and the Starcatcher annotated script.

    It's making me highly emotional. I just got a bunch of tears all over one of the pages. But how could I not?!


    Molly: You won't stay mad at me forever, will you?

    Peter: Go on, get lost.

    Molly: I'm bound to grow up, see? What would we do?

    Peter: Be friends.

    Molly: In a year, that'd be hard. In five years, it'd be silly. In twenty years, it would just be sad.

    Peter: (Bitterly) You sound older already.

    (Molly goes to her father. He comforts her gently.)

    Aster: The thing you did, against impossible odds -- it's what the two of you will always have.

    Peter: The thing we did...

    Molly: Against impossible odds... (deliberately comes back to Peter and kisses him on the mouth) Yes, I wanted to.

    (Molly runs off. Aster stops Peter from pursuing her, then exits. Peter is alone. A moment. Then the company enters, one by one.)

    Narrator Scott: Peter watches The Wasp get smaller and smaller, wondering about his adventure, about Molly, about that kiss.

    Narrator Stache: It would be the only moment that Peter would teeter, at the top of the rolley-coaster, on the verge of becoming what he'd always hated -- a grown-up.

    Narrator Aster: And then, as promised, he began to forget. And stayed right where he was.

    Narrator Stache: The outsider.

    Narrator Alf: Molly, true to her word, would remember everything, until one night, many years later --

    Narrator Smee: -- she stared out the nursery window watching Peter fly off with her daughter in tow --

    Narrator Brumbrake: -- and this grown-up Molly would comfort her new Nana, the good old dog who tended her children --

    Narrator Molly: "Don't worry, Nana darling. I always hoped, if Peter came to visit, that my daughter would take my place. And when Wendy grows up--"

    Narrator Fighting Prawn: "I hope she will have a little girl."

    Narrator Hawking Clam: "A little girl who will go off with him in turn."

    Narrator Molly: "And so may we go on and on, dear Nana, as long as children are young and innocent--

    Narrator Stache: -- and rude and juvenile and heartless --

    Narrator Aster: -- past all of the jostles of life--"

    Narrator Molly: -- 'till we fly back home."

    Peter: Home.

    Silverthorn by Raymond Feist, second book of the Riftwars, read Magician last month, been meaning to read them for ages, the whole series should hold me til Diana Gabaldon's next book comes out, if not I'll start on the Game of Thrones books by George R.R. Martin.
    I used to do a novel in a weekend, but now I only get to read while I'm waiting for the kids to come out of school!

    I love The Silence of the Lambs. Great book. Way better than the movie, although the movie makes it really come alive.

    Haha. I read The trilogy at least once a year and I have since I was in 4th grade. So, I've probably read it about 50 times. It never gets old. I usually add The Hobbit in every few years, too :happy:

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who's had trouble getting through that book. I've tried multiple times, but it always goes unfinished!

    ipicked it up butwas told to skip it and go see the play instead. They said the book was terrible
  • 3001 The Final Odyssey. The last of the the Space Odyssey books. They get progressively worse, but they still keep me preoccupied. I love the world 2001 created.

    Traps for Library users - getting settled on the train for the normal hourly commute, opening the book and starting to read, only to discover with horror after the first two pages that ... I've already read it! Very long trip.

    In the past week or so, I've read Sharon Ashwood's 'Ravenous', 'Scorched' and 'Unchained'. HOTTTTTT. They gotta go back to the library soon though.

    I keep picking up and reading stories from Robert Blake's 'Tales of a Rascal: What I Did for Love'. Available on Amazon. Yes, the actor Robert Blake, that one.

    You know what's horrible? I'm a die-hard Tolkien fan since I was a kid, and 'The Children of Hurin' has been sitting in my bookshelf since I bought it. Must be a couple of years now. :embarassed:
