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 loved the ending of Kavalier and Clay. I thought it was perfect.
Me, too.
One of my favorite endings is in Maurice. The scene where Maurice goes to see Alec off at the ship and he's waiting with Alec's family and that horrible minister and everything goes wrong, wrong, wrong until he realizes that everything is going to be okay and there's that perfect sunset and the world is suddenly on his side - I could read that chapter 1001 times.
"Now we shan't never be parted."
A Prayer for Owen Meany, one of my fave books of all time, has a great ending. The entire book builds up to it, and it doesn't disappoint.
God, I adored this. It made me think of endings differently, and love the book forever. Nothing I'd thought of as a digression turned out to be one.
I should reread, huh? Except it makes me cry and cry.
Oh, that's such a good book. Maybe I'll re-read too. Although I just got Hotel New Hampshire for Christmas, one of the few Irvings I haven't read yet, so I should probably read that first.
Hotel New Hampshire
Jesus, I love that book. It is SO fucked up, and I love it to bits.
Hotel New Hampshire is probably my favorite modern book. I can't even put my finger on what about it speaks to me, and I think my friends think I am a sick fuck for loving it, but I just do.
The Girl's been begging me to read it for ages. It's her favourite book ever. Don't know why it's taken me this long to get round to it. I generally love everything I read by Irving.
The first time I read Princess Bride I was pissed as hell at the ending but now I love it and often tack it on myself when I watch the movie.
I don't think the Princess Bride ending belongs on the movie (since the book is bigger than the movie), but it works in the context of the book.
