there was so much that the movie invented, yet felt true to the original
My favorite is that they kept Red's line about his name. It fit his character in the story because he is an Irishman there, but played as a wry joke on Red's part in the film when Morgan Freeman says it.
Anyway, IANAL, but this board does not officially sanction the circumvention of copyright. Just so it's there.
For some reason, this made me grin. Go Liese, being all responsible and legal and shit! :)
I think the Nook's idea is awesome...but I'm not as huge a fan of the actual device. I think, much as I like the page-like screen of the Kindle, that I am going to hold out and buy an iPad probably next year. Loses battery quicker, but can do kindle books and ibooks, and all that jazz. Though pricey. So we'll see if I manage to hold out--I already got sucked in and started buying kindle books for my iphone and computer! (There was a book, and I found out it was a trilogy...but the library only had the third book! So I bought the second on kindle, and then I was IN)
Does anyone have any idea when
Catching Fire
is coming out in paperback? Amazon is giving me no love.
My copy of
The Adventures of Sam the Bat
has shipped!!!
I just finished re-reading Lasher. I know I read it before (ages and ages ago, when it was first released), but wow. Did NOT remember that ending. And now I kinda want to read Taltos. But only if the Thrifting PTB make a 1st ed. hardback appear on one of my shopping trips. I have standards. Sort of.
I might have Taltos on my bookshelf at home. I make no promises, but I'm happy to send it over if I do. My Anne Rice collection gets pruned every time we move so I have no idea which ones are gone and which ones I've kept.
I just finished The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan. Horrible book. The writing and the plot made me cringe. I was tempted not to finish it, but I suffered through it hoping it would get better. It didn't. I definitely won't be reading any further books in this trilogy.

Oooh, yay! Jars, if you do, I would be delighted to give it a home.

Oh, I know. I was so disappointed in it. I kept thinking "Wait, this is part of the plot of Blade 2".
