| owlice,
I have read and listened to all of the Harry Potter stories over these past many years....each book that came out, I would buy 3 copies (no sharing in my house!) and 1 set of CD's.....I just love listening to Jim Dale read those books...... I recently got the first 3 books onto my iPod and I am listening to them as I walk..... (see the exercise thread, ha ha).....it is amazing to me how intricate a world JK Rowling built....and how some of it makes me laugh out loud as I walk....
just last nite I heard Harry tell Snape to "shutup" in Book 3....and it took my breathe away, I was so surprised to hear the animosity and anger so early in the series.....
Anne of Green Gables is another fun listen...... sooo positive and lively about every day realities..... Anne was especially appreciative of kindnesses shown to her..... Mark Twain thought it was the best book ever on childhood.... and I do love to periodically go back and have a shot of Anne and Maritha, the reluctant mom.....Matthew was so steadfast in his commitment to Anne. Just a wonderful story...... |
