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."
I read TKaM for my book club in junior high. It was the favorite book of the teacher who moderated the club, and he always had it as the first book of the year. I love it to pieces.
Too bad he had to follow it with Michener's Chesapeake, a mindnumbing slog of a book after reading TKaM!
To Kill a Mockingbird was one of the few books assigned to me in high school that I really enjoyed. It's just fantastic. The movie is also fabulous.
TKaM is one of my all time favorite books. I adore it beyond reason. I was worried because my son is not a reader and they are reading it for his honors English class (freshman in HS) and I thought he was going to hate it and have a difficulty with the narrative, BUT he loved it! I'm so happy! Now maybe I can get him to read something else *knock wood* I think The Odyssey is next up for them.. gulp
When I read The Odyssey in school my teacher brought in the Wishbone episode. High school kids now are probably too young to remember Wishbone, but we were ALL excited about it.
Oh and Steph, I finally got the new Skullduggery book, hand delivered by my bro! He had originally planned to come and visit when it came out but his trip got postponed and he didn't want to spoil the surprise of him just showing up with it. He told me that I'd better appreciate him flying 6000 miles for delivery - he's a dork!
I probably won't be able to start it until next week but I plan on it being my entertainment for the long weekend. So I should report back soon.
I was too old for Wishbone but I love him anyway.

Excellent. I'm still all flaily about something that happened, and need to talk about it.
I was a little bit too old for Wishbone too, I think. But I remember watching it all the time. There are quite a few classics I still only know anything about because I saw the Wishbone episode.
I totally love Wishbone but was an adult when I picked it up.
I was also an adult who loved Wishbone! And his little costumes!
