The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud
News:
"Magic is what makes fantasy fantastic," someone says, "you can't apply rules to them or else it loses wonder!" I respond, "Sure, but if you want to write them you will certainly want to know how they work." Writing is all about execution, and I find applying some basic laws of physics to magic systems make them more understandable and realistic. Here, I'm going to outline my basic method for developing a magic system.

I enjoyed this movie, it was cute, warm, and funny. Then again I am a kid at heart, so I enjoy a lot of different stuff.

Sad but good movie. Poor Wolverine is all I have left to say.

All in all the movie was great, I just wish they'd had Superman and Lane secretly married so five years later she could have been like, "Welcome back dear... oh and that's your son."

The Princess Bride by William Goldman. This is the edited version of the classic tale. I am SO glad it is... there was like 72 pages purely dedicated to the training of Buttercup to become a princess. Now, normally I like unabridged versions of stories, but that's just pure torture! ~twitch~ Thank you William for editing to make it more reader friendly!

HBP like the rest of JK Rowlings books has just the right amount of suspence to keep you wanting to turn the pages. Her past 3 books 1 good character has died, starting with Cedric Diggory to (skip this part those of you who have not read the book) coughDumbledorecough (it is now safe to read again 
) HBP was as good as her other books, read if you have not read!

I read Eragon a good two years ago (almost 3) and was amazed. I should read it again before I see if I can get my hands on Eldest.

I've read Inkheart and it's sequel Inkspell. Both are really good must-reads if you have not read them and you like Cornelia Funke... or even if you haven't heard of her. I read Dragon Rider and got hooked on her writing style, she's one of the best authors.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: Favorite Character in Elantris

my favorite characters... let's see: Raoden, Sarene, Hrathen, Galladon, Katara, Duke Roial, Sarene's uncle (can't remember his name for the life of me... save "Hunkey Kay"), Lord Shuden, and a few others I can't think of thanks to lack of sleep and being sick.
