so there is a bunch of Sutcliff at the library -- which is a good one to start with?
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
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."

Did anyone else turn into a 10 year old while reading the previous discussion of Moorcock love?
Just me then.

Beth, there's no particular order to the Sutcliffs. I'd start with the stuff written earlier, though: she started writing for younger and younger readers towards the end of her life.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
If you can, Beth, you might start with The Eagle of the Ninth, The Silver Branch and The Lantern Bearers, in that order. The books are related and certainly among the best. Others you could start with are Dawn Wind and The Mark of the Horse Lord.

Always Anti-fascist!
Me, Wolfram, cause I don't know who that is...might as well be Seymour Butts.

Trust my rage
I love Jilli's whitefonted idea a few posts back. I'm so curious to know Snape's whole story.
I don't think I've ever posted in this thread, but I'm hoping y'all can help me remember the title of some books I read as a kid. It was a story (or maybe a short series) about a brother and sister with some sort of mental powers. They were on their own, running away from someone, and were looking for their parents or their people. I think the title maybe had "Mountains" in it and it might have been made into a kids movie. I know this is really vague, but I can't remember any more except that I loved the story.

and there was an awful Disney movie "based" on the book "Escape to Witch Mountain." Tony and Tia, the psychic twins.

I never read the book and remember loving the movie. Something about the children's rooms they are given by the evil man has stayed with me as a vague memory and visual trigger. I should probably re-watch to figure it out.

I really loved that Tia could unlock doors, but only if she had good intentions.
