I've enjoyed the Potter movies, too. I thought Kenneth Brannagh was wonderful. I'm glad the filming will overlap on the third and fourth ones since the kids are getting older and may wind up aging themselves out of the parts for the last couple. That'd be a shame.
Otherwise, I'm reading a bunch of picture books -- recording a CD of bedtime stories for our nephews on the west coast. I think some "Curious George" will be next.

I started it, but didn't get that far.
It's the first Eco book that I haven't found incredibly compelling.

One of my favorite books.

I am current reading the Three Musketeers. Earlier this year, I started reading George R.R. Martin's Fire and Ice sextet, starting with A Game of Thrones. It was great! Turns out, though, there have only been 3 books published so far, and the 4th one, which was supposed to be out in August, was pushed back to this June! I wish I had checked to see how far along the series was before I started. They are a really good read, though.

Oh those are sooo good. Who's your favourite character? Mine's Arya.
Let's see, I'm reading Green Rider by Kristen Britain; the original Battlestar Galactica novelization; Borderlands of Science by Michael Shermer; and the Legion Companion. I don't know how many books I've got on my waiting list...

I'm reading The Camelot Chronicles by Jack White, it's up to seven books right now. Anyone ever hear of these?
And I try to read anything by Noam Chomsky and as much as I can by Eric Hobsbawm (a historian).

Just got "The Song of Arthur" from the library. It says it's "Celtic Tales from the High King's Court". It's a King Arthur thing. Short stories.
