I did too.

But it's like with Nat in the BT. We ask ourselves what would have happened had he lived? Would he and Kitty fall in love? Would he summon Bart for a chat?

Well, that's the part our imaginations fill in.

I watched it yesterday...

I don't know what to say after that movie... not what I was expecting, and I don't think I want to read the book now either. :hmm:

That's why it's so good, but so terribly sad.

Oh. I remember this book. Yeah, not a big fan of it, as it was a bit sappy, as Artemis puts it, and the ending was a bit pointless(though sad).
I don't like it enough to see the movie, though.

The ending actually had a point. It was based on a true story, the son of the author and his best friend. Who was a girl.

She died too.

Yes, she was struck by lighting.

Of course you do.

That's life, even if it's virtual.

There is a sort of busy worm,
That will the fairest book deform,
Their tasteless tooth will tear and taint
The poet, patiot,sage or saint,
Nor sparing wit nor learning.
Now, if you'd know the reason why,
The best of reasons I'll supply;
'Tis bread to this poor vermin.

We never had it for required reading, probably because in my part of America we're full of religious bigots.

I might just do that.

Or at least move to New York.

Yum... beaver tails...
I occasionally get mooses in my backyard, too!
Or is the plural of moose moose? I think it is.
Look, Queezle.

Moose or mooses. But are technically correct. Like fish or fishes.
