Cool beans, Fairy. I bet that's going to be a fascinating read.

I really don't think it is a proper children's book.

Honestly, I think parts of it might be a little over most kids heads. That could be just me though.

Well, I *certainly* think adults should read it, too. It has so much to offer.

No, it's not just you, Fairy. A lot was intended to be over kids heads. I think Carroll's choice of marketing it as a children's book was intentionally subversive.

actually Carroll was more than subversive, he was a closet pedophile as well as a rogue mathimatician

Lol, well there's that too.

*wanders back into the thread* I just finished a book that I rather liked, but rather disliked at the same time... I'm trying to figure out if I regret the time spent on it or not. It was a charming book, but I never really got a feel for any of the characters' personalities. When bad things happened to them, I didn't feel particularly compelled to feel sorry for them, when good things happened, I wasn't put in high spirits myself... I felt as though I could have put it down at any time without really worrying about what happened to them.

*settles down with Tales from Watership down to revisit some characters she knows she loves* <3

I see, and what book might that have been, Iltu?

I really need to finish my King of Ys books

Biggles- Tailchaser's Song by Tad Williams. I like books of that nature, animals going on epic and even magical adventures (The Sight, Firebringer, and Watership Down are favorites of mine), but this one just didn't do it for me.

Saiyana- What are those books about? I've not heard of them before.

Iltu, I'm sorry you didn't like it so much. Ah well, maybe a different recommendation another time.

That's strange... Iltu's answer didn't show up on my comp? Well, good thing Shadow quoted...

Oh, the original post has appeared now... so yeah, nvm.

It started off really well, but it just went a little downhill for me. I do still intend to read that trilogy by Meredith Anne Peirce you told me about, though. I forget what they're called... with the unicorns, you know the ones I'm speaking of? Is the first one Birth of the Firebringer? And I think one is called Son of the Summer Stars... They're sitting up in my room right now, at any rate. :)

Yep. Hopefully you'll have more luck with that one. Using unicorns was such a neat idea.

Wow, the forums are so dead >.<
