Reading The Golden Compass at the insistence of a friend. It's pretty meh about half way through. We'll see if it picks up.

Hey the first one sounds really good. The 2nd two sound pretty decent.

That comic is beautifully drawn.

HILARITY!
I remember Go ask Alice in high school. That was a great book.
I am a big fan of Memoirs of a Geisha as well. I must have read it a dozen times just for fun. I was given Geisha by Liza Dalby by a roomie as a result and I read that one for fun now too. I just wish there were more good books on geisha. Geisha a Life by Mineko Iwasaki would have been good if Mineko didn't come of so snobby and self important.
My fave from way back in the day is "Six Months to Live" about a girl who finds out she has leukemia. I loved that book when I was 11.
Tunuviel (That first book sounds really cool! Is the copy that you have that old? That would be even better.)
Yeah it's that old. My dad has a thing for old books. I knew it was old from the cover but I didn't look till I popped it open before bed and took a look. It's older than my mom.
It also gives a little paragraph of the life of the author before each story and it says "H.G. Wells is still living in England."
I'm reading a couple things. I recently traveled home and found a book on my old shelf from 1942. It's called "Synopsis of Great Classics" It has english, french, russian, and american classics told in 4 or 5 pages a piece. It's my bed time reading and I really like it.
I'm also reading Jumper. My guy read it as a teen and with the movie coming out I decided to read it. It's really good. Exciting and character driven.
