@Cherry--Tad Williams is the one who wrote the book about the cat society--I think I mentioned that awhile back. Otherland is not my favorite series of his, I much prefer the Dragonbone Chair trilogy.

Shadow - Oh, did he write that? Well, if I enjoy Otherland, I'll definitely have to check it out.

@Cherry
But the Phantom isn't supposed to be hott! He's a creepy scarred man who lives in the sewers! I like Gerard Butler well enough, but I don't think that he portrays the phantom in the best possible way.

Aislin, if you like the storyline of the musical, I think you'd enjoy the book. There are lots of little differences, including the ending, so it's quite fun to compare the two.
But then V of V For Vendetta shouldn't be hot either! You never even see his face, but you know whatever's under there isn't too pretty, just by the brief glimpse you get at his hands. D: And that he was totally burned to a crisp in a fire.
Plus he's a total anarchist maniac bent on revenge. xD
And yet. He's totally amazing. Or maybe I'm just insane. Owo;

I've never seen or read The Phantom of the Opera. I should. >.>

@Kitami: You're not alone in thinking V is totally amazing! And yes you should definitely go read it, I really can't recommended the book enough. If you liked V then you'll probably love the phantom as well.

@`Kitami
True!
But I always think of Hugo Weaving as V, so I tend to imagine him as rather attractive. It's tough when you come to associate a character like that with a real person.

True, Hugo Weaving's voice could make anything 10 times attractive.

I know V for Vendetta was a comic first, but did anyone else get a 1984 feeling from it? I remember watching the movie during the part where they were talking about monitoring people speaking in their houses and going "Big Brother?"

Cherry hasn't seen V for Vendetta?
And we call ourselves twins!
xD

Dream:: I'll add it to my list. :3

Knerd:: I didn't know who did his voice though until I saw the credits, but then I made sure I found out because, his voice is just all kinds of amazing. XD
(I don't pay attention to actors unless I love them in a role.)
So he was just. V. Lol.

The end of that movie is SO awesome.

Dream:: Lol yeah and I haven't even read 1984.
I need to read that too. ><

I just finished Revelations by Melissa De La Cruz, book 3 in the Blue Bloods Saga, and holy crap was it amazing!
Granted it was sort of slow in the beginning but it picked up pace fast. I can't wait for the forth one. Now I have to wait for the books in the library to come in, cause I don't have anything to read now ^^;;

*goes to add to the list*

It hasn't been answered
Here is a pretty fair synopsis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otherland

@Cherry; Tailchaser's Song is my favorite book that he wrote.

Wow...I forgot about this until only a few days ago.
So..I'ver added 19 more books to my list, giving me the total of 92 books read!
I'm only 925 pages away from my goal of 30000 pages for the year. *rejoices* I can definitely finish this. I'm thinking I may even go over the goal. Since I'm working on a 700 page book right now. Hopefully I will finish it soon.

Hey everyone!

Alright, I had to share this with you guys-- I figured that you, too, might enjoy Shakespeare, and so must have an interest in the following important information. Be careful!

(note-- there is music and animation involved)
