This week has been shitty. I dont have the energy to go into it in detail, but it involved cars, friends, jobs (or lack thereof), and my cell. I have decided to take solace in books. I am now on a quest to read a bunch of books from my childhood. This idea was actually started by something I saw in Angel's profile. One of her favorite books is The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, one I loved when I was younger. I decided it was high time I read it again. Then yesterday, I was talking to a friend who mentioned the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie Tim Burton is making. I dont like the original movie very much, but the book is great in my opinion. I pulled that out too. Shadowmancer mentioned The Phantom Tollbooth in his profile another terrific book so that too went on the list. I dont own it anymore though so I went into a used bookstore today. Unfortunately, they did not have a copy, but what I did find was a copy of Tuck Everlasting. I should be set for a few days at least.
So, thank you to Shadowmancer and Angel for giving me something fun to focus on.

another book that's oddly different from the movie is the neverending story - so strange!
