Blast. That silver/tin thing is going to haunt me for years, isn't it?

Pretty much, but it will keep us all entertained as we keep pointing it out to you.  ;D

My wife and I only caught parts of Northanger Abby (she was hooked on watching Extreme Home Makeover).  From what we saw it was interesting, and she hopes that she can catch it again to find out what is going on with Miss Morland.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: So..what should Brandon do next?
« on: January 22, 2008, 06:10:04 AM »
I'm interested to see what Sanderson could do with humor. I enjoy his serious fantasies, and Elantris is one of my favs, but I find a book most satisfying when I'm laughing at least 50% of the time.

Have to agree here.  Alcatraz had me rolling on the floor.  I loved it.  I would love to have more like this.

I'm planning to do some sort of contest where I give away posters, though.  Maybe I'll throw in some hardbacks as potential prizes then, too. 

Sounds cool.  What kind of posters are they?

I'm interested in the book now cause it seemed like it would be cool, but the movie tried to put it all in the 2 hour slot.

The book is so much better.  Just be warned that you won't find many of the things you saw in the movie in book (ex. Will is English, Max has a minor role, and the plot is much more understandable).  Definately read it.

Soundtrack to Meet the Robinsons (my wife's idea).

Brandon Sanderson / Re: EUOL cover quote did it's job; it created a sale.

I don't envy you, EUOL, in having to come up with such quotes.  It's gotta be hard to know what to say and how to say it.

Have to admit though, some of those quotes are not the best way to judge a book.  I read a book one of my favorite authors did a cover quote for.  Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations.  Goes to show that even fans and authors can disagree.

Just out of curiosity, how do you get chosen to do a cover quote?  Do you ask, or the author, or does the publisher decide?

Books / Re: The End
« on: January 18, 2008, 04:40:11 AM »
I can't remember a time when I skipped to the end, but I have skipped ahead a few chapters in a particularly slow book, just to see if it picks up, kind of like what Ookla said. :)

That's actually okay.  I've done that once or twice myself.  Especially when the story has become boring.  But is never suppose to happen, right?  :P

Books / The End
« on: January 17, 2008, 10:51:43 PM »
I was talking with my mother and sisters the other day about reading, and they told me that they read the end of their books before finishing the story.  I was stunned!  That seems kinda anti-climatic if you me.  Their reasoning is that they want to know if eveything turns out alright in the end.  I couldn't do that, personally.  It would just ruin the story, don't you think?

So here's my question:  How many of you read the end of the book before actually getting there in the story? Anyone?  *looks around suspiciously*

As a sidenote, I loved Labyrinth as a kid. It's been a while, but I'd love to see it again - I'd stick it beside my copy of The Dark Crystal. Hehe. Wasn't Bowie's character supposed to really eccentric and a bit creepy? I'm pretty sure the feeling it gives you was intentional, that's how they made the character.

Very eccentric and really creepy.  Good role casting!!  ;D
