However, Great Apes was an incredibly compelling read, one of the few books that genuinely transported me into an alternative reality, and I recommend you give it a go.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00112062444476595895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489009971732520747.post-57676504912547942912007-11-01T23:08:00.000+00:002007-11-01T23:08:00.000+00:00Concerning Susan being "no longer a friend of Narn...Concerning Susan being "no longer a friend of Narnia" it may just be misogyny, but whereas Edward committed a single evil act and then repented, it appears that Susan consistently turned away from Narnia in favour of shallow worldly values over a long period of time. I think there is a parallel with the dwarves who refused to be "taken in".<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tag.

I disagree with many of your choices, though!<BR/><BR/>The Silmarillion is a WONDERFUL book (HOW DARE YOU!) but Paulo Coehlo... I just think he's entirely overrated and writes about nonsense! (Though I did like the Alchemist.)<BR/><BR/>I've not tried any Pratchet just yet, but I absolutely love the Night Watch Trilogy!<BR/><BR/>I'm gonna do this meme as soon as I get back from work. Thanks for the tag once again!Calaverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02827844632460123157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489009971732520747.post-79069042778545810682007-10-30T08:55:00.000+00:002007-10-30T08:55:00.000+00:00Thank you so much for accepting my tag.

I really enjoyed your list, and would happily go along with most of your choices, although sorry to say I had never heard of Paulo Coelho - must find out. Terry Pratchet gives me a great problem, as I have to have the complete collection of any author I like, and he has been so prolific it would probably bankrupt me!Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06847149482684623481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489009971732520747.post-65694142393740848582007-10-30T07:21:00.000+00:002007-10-30T07:21:00.000+00:00"The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe"Or, as a fri..."The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe"<BR/><BR/>Or, as a friend of mine calls it, The Cat, The Bitch and the Cupboard.Spirit of 1976https://www.blogger.com/profile/10314554889217669727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489009971732520747.post-60769639476060308602007-10-30T03:31:00.000+00:002007-10-30T03:31:00.000+00:00Hello!I'm a big Paulo Coelho's fan and I don't kno...Hello!<BR/>I'm a big Paulo Coelho's fan and I don't know if you heard about his blog<BR/><A>http://www.paulocoelhoblog.com</A><BR/>I've started as a fan and now I'm collaborating with him and thought that you would like to enter his universe. <BR/>Check the blog, if you want, or subscribe to his newsletter <BR/><A>http://www.warriorofthelight.com/engl/index.html</A><BR/>You'll see a community of warriors of light sharing ideas, dreams and most importantly following their personal legend. <BR/><BR/>QUOTE OF THE DAY:<BR/>"The glory of the world is transitory, and we should not measure our lives by it, but by the choice we make to follow our personal legend, to believe in our utopias and to fight for our dreams.
