I normally only read manga, but there are some really good fiction books. Like Frank Beddor's "The Looking Glass Wars". It's a spinoff of Alice in Wonderland :P

man.........so much alice and wonderland nowadays........no offense but I'm getting a little tired of it.........kinda like when naruto was popular and I loved it as the anime, but now it's to popular and it just sucks now XP
but thats how I am ^^'

I have never been much of a fan of Alice in Wonderland.
The original story was very strange.

I wasn't either, but Frank Beddor makes it sound like the Alice in Wonderland we know is a lie, the twisted truth of the actual story. The Looking Glass Wars is an action sci-fi book. Lots of battles and stuff :P

It does sound more like fantasy than science fiction.

Well, yeah. There's definitely fiction. But Alyss (not Alice) does some kind of dimensional jump and ends up in our world and so do the monsters and bad guys from Wonderland :D

I just like the fact that the guy was stoned when he made alice in wonderland........kekekekeke

Why was he stoned? o_O

He did tobacco I believe.....you never heard of that?
9remember this was WAY back when it was ok for tobacco things)
because he was stoned, he made alice in wonderland..........
i dont think that world could come from a non-stoned guy XDD

Nice XD

Yeah, Lewis Carroll was a bit of a loon...and a creeper. He was in love with his friend's daughter...who was like...seven O__O

I know what Tobacco is.
When you said "stoned" I thought you meant people threw rocks at him, which is also being "stoned".

Oh dear, I believe that I read that somewhere also.

oh yea yea, no he didn't get Stoned stoned, just got............HIGH! THATS IT!...........I was trying to think of the word XP

Well, that would explain all of the drug reference in the book. The hookah-smoking catapillar and everything...but the really creepy thing was his infatuation with "Alice"...his friend's kid daughter...

There was a time when young girls married middle aged men.
But I'm thinking of "Little House on the Prairie" time.

Yes, that's unfortunately true.

yea.................how times have changed XDD
now it's rape ya? XP

And total pedo-ness O__O
And her dad figured it out and got really really mad, apparently. Can't say I blame him >_>

People used to marry their relatives too cause they thought it strengthened the blood line when it really didn't.

It ended up causing heredity problems, right? Like...the English and stuff...with nobles. I can see their way of thinking but...ugh...

Aw, man. I gotta go. Bye-bye!!! *waves dramatically*

yea the old goth poetry guy married his cousin........he did "the raven" I believe it's called XP

Edgar Allan Poe?

yea thats him! I think his cousin/wife was the first one to die...........but I had this stuff memorized like 5 years ago, so i could be wrong........i just know he married a cousin of his!

Oh dear. I remember that I was in love with my cousin, and wanted to marry him.
Of course, I was 8 years old at the time.

Yick. I always thought my cousins were dweebs.
