Oh, hell yes. So ridiculously surreal - well, to a ten-year-old.

This thread pleases me greatly.

Fog is another great book, is a shame the films based on his books have all been crap (Survivor, Fluke and Haunted). I think his stuff is much better than Stephen King, but Shaun Hutson is the king of british horrer to my mind.

Haven't read Hutson, but no way is Herbert better than King!

MAybe i havent read the right King books It and the Dark half and maybe misery and graveyard shift (if thats even one of his) but I find Herbert better. I feel the same about Dean R Kootz never really liked his writing style neither.

they had better, and I mean better not screw up the movies. the great part is that the characters dont come back in EVERY book, so you can space out the movies.

this has potential... as long as the God-Aslan thing isnt too overwhelming.

[/ QUOTE ]

In the books, the God-Aslan thing is about as subtle as a sledge hammer to the head.

Oh, I LOVED Curious George too! Good reminder. I was nuts for this little dude. The Curious George books were almost impossible to check out at any library, and were overly expensive, from what I remember, so I never really did get my fill of him.

When they published The Complete Adventures Of Curious George a few years back, I made sure I got a copy. My 4-year-old is now a huge fan.

However, saw a preview for the upcoming Curious George movie. Some things should remain as books. Oddly enough, my huge fan did not ask to see the movie when he saw the preview. The kid can detect a stinker.

With all the Boston people I'm surprised this is the first time anyone's posted:

There is the whole seventh book, which is one long anti-Muslim screed, falling especially hard on those who would claim to find common ground between "Tash" and "Aslan."

Stuart Little. in 4th grade. it was the first book i found where i wanted to keep turning the pages.

sorry for ending the thread, but...

I remember reading this as a kid and liking it but can't even remember what it's about now. Guess it didn't make that big an impression. Or at least, not for long.

Woah, I forgot about this one; this book was the coolest.

Never bettered. Only Seuss came close, but he was in a bit of a different direction.

Here's something hyper-gay. I thought the Madeleine book, or was it books?, had a sort of eerie wistfulness.

Oh, and there was a really great book about three Chinese brothers that was incredibly inventive, I thought. I really dug it huge. One could swallow up the whole ocean, the other could create storms or something, and I forget what the other one could do. Anyway, they used these bizarre powers in a remarkable way in the story. I think this one has come back into print recently. I would love to read it again. It was very simple, but incredibly cool. Wish I could remember the title.
