Forgive my absence! I've been extra busy this past week but I'm back with another list and an update on books I've ordered and books I've received! Yay!
So first, a list! This list comes from Allison, one of my oldest friends who introduced me to many wonderful things, including vegetarian cuisine, RuSan's sushi, anime conventions, tattoos, and the artistic merits of One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. She's a huge fan of Halloween so I'm sure her place is already decked out in all of its finery. I also worked with her in the book biz lo, these many years ago. She knows her stuff!
1. The Little Prince
2. Kitchen or NP by Banana Yoshitmoto
3. Pride and Prejudice - Austen
4. Innocent's Abroad and Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
5. anything calvin and hobbes because that really is the history of philosophy
6. Power of myth - Joseph Campbell was just brillant!
7. My YA/kids section
Diane Wynne Jones- Howl's Moving Castle etc.
Libba Bray- A great and terrible Beauty
Peter Pan
Oh the places you will go by Seuss
anything of the old Shel Silverstein
Happy Hockey family by Lane Smith
13 little blue Envelopes -MJohnson
Ferdinand by Leaf and Lawson
Blanket (graphic novel) by Craig Thompsonand
Francesca. Block books
8. mutant message down under- M. Morgan
9. Post Secret series by Frank Warren
10. Arabic Fiction book called i'jaam by Antoon
Aha! A list where I have read more than three! Six! I have read six of these! Hooray! I have not read The Little Prince yet, however, it was given to my partner and I for our anniversary this past year by a very dear friend and it is sitting on our bookshelf waiting to be read. Then I will have read seven! Seven books from this list! Bwa-ha-ha! (That's the best impression of the Count from Sesame Street you're going to get out of me.)
This past weekend I received in the mail three of the books I've ordered from other lists. I recieved The Moorchild (from Victoria's list), The Bone People (from Ellen's list), and To Kill a Mockingbird (from practically everybody's list). I started The Moorchild first, quite by accident, and as soon as I've finished it, I will write a little review. Two more books are on the way, or so I've been told: Atlas Shrugged (from Stefanie's list) and To Serve Them All My Days (from my father's list). I have my reading cut out for me for a while, that's for sure!
Happy Reading!

1) Pride and Prejudice is great. It was on my 20-odd-something-long list of books to recommend.
2) I could never get into Francesca Block's writing style. I did read "I Was a Teenage Fairy" though, which I enjoyed.
3) "Howl's Moving Castle" is one of the most fantastic YA fantasy novels ever. It was on the original list I sent to you, and I wish I could have kept it on there, so I'm very glad someone else recommended it.
4) You can't go wrong with Shel Silverstein. Ever.
