Farenheit 451 is all about the total love of books, and how necessary they are to sustain us. The ending is so incredible. The film (Francois Truffaut) is also great.Bobby D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02205693811392933385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8995634.post-36017195587963713502007-03-28T15:10:00.000-07:002007-03-28T15:10:00.000-07:00You and fantasy is like me and classics.

People always ask me why I don't read more classics, and it is not because I don't try, it is because, well, most my attempts have turned into flops. I, of course, like some, but what happens is I either hate them or I love them, there is no in between.<BR/><BR/>I tried to read Labyrinth last year and it was okay, but you know, I never did finish it... just didn't float my boat. <BR/><BR/>If you are not super big on fantasy, my suggestion to you is to look for historical fantasy. Books that take place on earth could be more appealing than a made up world. Just a thought. :)Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8995634.post-16522772963788379632007-03-28T15:03:00.000-07:002007-03-28T15:03:00.000-07:00I hear ya, Brandon, I feel pretty overwhelmed and ...I hear ya, Brandon, I feel pretty overwhelmed and underblogged myself these days.<BR/><BR/>I'll read one or two of the genre, but probably not more than that.

I'm not going to be joining in; I have a lot on the table at the moment--"Don Quixote" and my move to Florida, primarily. I'll be taking a hiatus from blogging next month too, while I get settled. Plus, I've been feeling the need to get away; blogging is beginning to turn into a chore for me. And, looking over some recent posts, I think it's evident that I've been half-assing lately.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
