Have you read all of Neil Gaiman's books?
I dunno, I'm a big fan of his stuff.

Hehe that's cool, didn't know you'd read them (though, why would I know? duh lol). I wish I had a fire lizard.. they seem more cuddly than my damn cat is lately  |

Haha, yeah. I always was so jealous reading about the people who got to impress (or is it be impressed by? I forget the whole wording) the dragons.
And wouldn't it be cool if we could communicate psychically with our cats...

Yeah, they impress the dragons. Which seems to be more of a privelige, coz with fire lizards it's just about who can stuff their faces with the most food as to who they love the most lol.
(shit, that sounds like my cat again... little fatty)
Yes that would be cool. Very Dr Doolittle, really... but not as lamearsed.

I always wanted a firelizard, I was so sad that they weren't real. They sounded even cooler than real dragons... because of the way she made them work. |

Hehe yeah... they sound cute with the little chirpy noises and their ability to freak people out.. A dragon would be cool though. And a sexy dragon man to go along with it. F'lar sounded like he was hot lol. |

Everyone is going to think know we're such gigantic nerds, oh well. But you're so right - I secretly thought F'lar was hot, too, though back then I was trying to convince myself I liked Lessa more. In the end though it all came down to Jaxom - he had that kick-ass white dragon! Plus he had some interesting experiences in that field... hehehehe
Then again, F'lar had a bronze, if I remember right so... hmm. That is cool as well.
(Ahh, I can't believe I remember all these names without even having to look them up!)

Does exciting shit happen to him in this book or a different one? Amy only lent me those 3, so I guess I might have to get the other ones myself. |

I've just started reading The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides and wow, it's, hmm, startling and good. I fear I'm going to read it all tonight. Carly, I wanted to recommend 2 books to you. Have you read The Other Boleyn Girl or The Book of Ruth?...both are very, very good reads.  Gosh, I love reading. |

I think Carly would enjoy it, too. Sean got me The Queen's Fool but I won't have a chance to read that until probably Christmastime.

I'm currently trying to read Once by James Herbert, but I really don't feel like it.... which is dumb coz I like his books but he is also one scary mofo (like I thought Stephen King was bad - but a good James Herbert book can be just as bad!!) ...
I just bought this book that Angie Bowie wrote (yes, David Bowie's ex wife) from someone on ebay so I'm kinda ants-in-my-pants for that to arrive. Apparently it's oh so scandalous..
