It's also got to be chronologically-appropriate, as we're talking about English schoolkids in 1939.

Oh, right. This is Narnia. I'm, like, the only person around who's never read a single Narnia book. I think I might have watched an animated version of the first book that was made back in the 1970's when I was wee (dubbed, of course.) It's like that time when I didn't know what the hell "Where the Wild Things Were" was and had people look at me askance.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Vonnie, I know you're not a born American, but that's no excuse for being heathen! OMGlolol!

Now, Anne of Green Gables? We were ALL OVER that. And A Dog of Flanders, which I was surprised to hear was not that very popular here (it IS an awful downer.)

And don't even talk to me about Sesame Street. I still don't know what Bert and Ernie look like.

Like this, is all you need to know.

Hahaha. Erm, which one is Bert and which one's Ernie again? It's like that time when mely from LJ said she couldn't remember the names of McKay and Sheppard from SGA, so she thought of them as Bert and Ernie, and I couldn't figure out which one was which. The only muppets I recognize are Kermit and Miss Piggy.

... and Rygel and the Pilot, of course.

Bert is tall and Ernie is bratty.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Abed is Bert.

I just finished rereading the first three books on my (new-to-me) Kindle. They're so nostalgically domestic. I love that late-80s miniseries they did, too, although the many-years-later sequel is an abomination.

How do you like your Kindle btw? I'm flirting with the idea of getting an eBook reader but the choices out there are confusing. Is Kindle overall superior to Nook? I'm trying not to look at iPad 'cause, hello, expensive!

It's a bit off topic but... wait, no! I can read fic on Kindle! So not really off topic, right?

OK, to be more on topic, I just watched Inception again to try out my new Blu-Ray player (*preeeeeeens* SO SHINY!) and I am jonesing for some fic, in particular featuring Mal and the notion that Cobb may be still dreaming and Mal's alive. Or something that plays with the notion of unreliability of reality within that verse. I looked around, and 95% of what's out there seems to be Arthur/Eames, and while I liked both characters fine, it's not really what I'm looking for. Anyone has recs?

... er, better spoiler-font that bit in case there are folks around here who haven't seen the movie yet.
