There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
And the new one,with Egyptian mythology is also so fun.
Oh, fun. I'll have to look for them. And dig up Ben's copy of The Lightning Thief.
I bought him The Westing Game and Freak the Mighty for his new school's summer reading list today. I haven't read either, so I plan to steal them when he's done.
IMO, Westing Game is blergh. Freak the Mighty is pretty great, though.
I really liked the Westing Game, and so did my book group kids
I know plenty of people who do like it, but rarely did any of my students like it. I just didn't like it at all. A book that was decidedly blergh to me.
Have any of you folks who like YA read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series? It's not really YA, but it's really well done and very fast pace and entertaining.
I heard a story on NPR yesterday about a bookstore that does a Percy Jackson and the Olympians *camp* (I assume a day camp) for kids. Fun!
I loved The Westing Game.
I heard that too, Steph. About book day camps in general, yes?
About book day camps in general, yes?
Was it? I may have only heard the part about the Percy Jackson camp. Still, when I heard it, I thought that I would have KILLED for such a thing when I was a kid. Buncha nerds, just like me!
Oh, yeah, I loved mythology too. I was all about Greek when I was in school, and then when I was working for the gaming company, I had an assignment that allowed me to discover Norse mythology and I was all blissed out for a while. That was a great job, and was also responsible for large amounts of beautifully illustrated and photographed collection of arms and armor books. Hmm. I lost my grammar somewhere halfway through that sentence, but you know what I mean.
My books are currently in book anarchy. The SO organized them post-move but I haven`t kept it up. When it`s in order, it`s non-fic by subject, fic alpha by author, then chronologically within authors. I am currently building my Pratchett collection chronologically and have gotten as far as Soul Music. It`s at a fun section in the middle that I haven`t read. Library has old and new ones but not these.
So, I went to the library to get my book for our third book salon topic (Russian Roulette). War and Peace is an even bigger doorstop than Don Quixote.
