Heh. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 06/11/2009 03:34:38 PM
I can't believe I forgot Astrid Lindgren. I should commit some form of seppuku to rid myself and those close to me of the burden of the shame.

Yes. You should.

Again. I can't believe I forgot that one.

You're getting old?

When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit

How old are we talking here?

Um. Like, 10 or so?

The Three Musketeers

You don't need to be very old to appreciate this one. In fact, I would argue that The Little Prince requires more. Both gain layers as you grow older, though...

Yes. So start them youngish and let them read and reread. TTM is later than TLP because at the most basic level it feels older.

The Bone People (NZ book)

I read that one. I think. Post-apocalyptic stuff? Someone called Black Rose or some such? Cancer thingy?

No. Nothing like that at all. I think you haven't read it. When you have some time I shall make you borrow it.

Wait, what? I only read under the covers when I was scared. *NM* rebelaessedai - 31/10/2009 05:46:13 AM 407 Views
Re: I read under the covers, by torchlight, with a decoy book so they'd not know what I was reading. Danae al'Thor - 31/10/2009 09:30:18 AM 731 Views

Such a bizarre mental image to an American. *NM* Ghavrel - 06/11/2009 01:41:14 AM 385 Views
I could not work out why it would be a bizarre image. Rebekah - 06/11/2009 03:27:26 PM 876 Views
