For anyone curious, Supernatural is a show based upon hunters chasing down urban legends and myths, only they are real. They are two brothers, Sam and Dean Winchester. It is rather like horror, drama, comedy all wrapped into one show. Here is a clip if you're interested: http://www.youtube.com/user/areyouwatchingsn?blend=1

Tireth: V. For. Vendetta. Was. Amazing.
I love that movie soooo much. *w*
I only read a few of the Teen Titans comics. I really should pick up more. I was more of an X-Men and Justice League kind of person.

I watched both 300 and V for Vendetta in one evening this last summer, both comics put on the big screen, yet I have not read either of the comic versions. I am ashamed of myself.

I really enjoyed the movies though, for what they were worth. I'm just afraid to hate the movies after reading the comic books.

My English teacher recommended I read the V for Vendetta comics. >w> Apparently I'd really like them.

I actually saw V for Vendetta just last week. Excellent movie. I had meant to ask around in here about the comic book.

The comic book is very different though, from what I've heard at least.
I remember that the creator was disappointed in the movie because it romanticized "V" too much.

Late to answer I know but,
Yeah I read a few things at once, it helps that they are all from different genres. Like, Eclipse and Portrait...are completely different. Also the Weir book is a text book, and a bit hard to digest, so I only read it when I am feeling up to a challenge. Don't forget too, I am listening to Isabella on my Ipod, so it counts but sort of not.

Listening to a book was hard at first and I tend to listen to books that have lots of bulk to them, so if I get lost it get repeated. I never would have been ablt to read Emma by Austin, but it was a wonderful thing to listen to when I went to the gym.

Once I tried to read two novels about Anne Boleyn at the same time, that failed horribly.

@padfoot - technically, it is a juv fiction novel, about 8-12. but it is a scary story. the graveyard book is turning out to be a little freaky as well, but i expect nothing less from gaiman.

@spring - it's not your fault. dani thinks i haven't watched p&p for a while, but, in fact, i have that and iron man on a never ending loop in my video player. XD
(good combination, i know. xp)
augh, i have the same problem. at the rate i'm going at now, i have enough unread books to last me a few years.

@cherry - you can read a little bit on google books and see how you like the writing style. there are pages missing, so you won't be able to read the whole book, but it's there.

@shadow - you know, i kind of hate you right now. because now i need to watch some supernatural. i mean seriously. he screamed at a cat. that's my kind of show.

@bishie - it was amazing. AMAZING. much love, yes.
i only got the comics because that was the only sort of thing i could think of liking at the time. when the anime-ted show was on cartoon network. x3
oh justice league. i would watch the show when i got bored, but i actually got a little interested in it. especially with the alien guy and green lantern. x_x

@guivre - i did exactly that just a few nights ago and haven't read the comics, but i do most certainly plan to get v. not so much 300. it was one of those deals where i couldn't stop laughing at it. just like i couldn't stop laughing at twilight.

@jenova - i do believe my favourite parts of the movie were the exploding things and v fighting with his knives and they did that shwoom motion thing. (sorry for being retarded with english?)

ps.
omg. you guys have no clue how much i freaked when i found this. squee.

Oh yes, I love the movie. I was merely bringing up the fact that the creator man hated the movie.
I enjoyed V cooking breakfast, and then Stephen Fry also cooking breakfast. I love Sir Fry.

i agree, the movie was pretty awesome. i just have a thing for violence and destruction? XD
and v and stephen fry cooking was hilarious, though i believe v cooking was moreso than fry. the fact that it was hugo weaving made it even more hysterical. x3

ps.
there is a twilight ad in my madame xanadu comic. nuuuuu...
and it's not even a good one, it's just the picture of bella and rpattz. the one that looks like it was badly photoshopped. ;_;

And that's all I'll say about that.

therefore, he was perfect. XD

I've nearly finished Little Green Man by Simon Armitage, even more encouragment for me to actually read his autobiography. It's currently at the bottom of the pile of books by my bed poor thing.

I thought the film V for Vendetta was an alright but the characters were all a little too easy to feel sorry for. Nobody beats up Stephen Fry and lives though, I'll take them out myself. XD

You're welcome It is a great show.

Also, you made me freak out. I love Elfquest. I have the entire original set of comics, plus a few of the secondary series, and some of the books.
