It was decent, but not as good as his first, A Density of Souls, Though no one else seems to agree with me

Never read In The Fall, but 1984 is great!

I think it's great you guys are reading those. Everyone who has kids should have to read about raising them, IMO! Kudos to you, not boring at all! God, i wish my mom had occasionally been in a good mood!

Omigosh, i remember when i read that! i was young...maybe, jr. high? I loved it though...I reread books all the time, and the other night, i thought i had finally completed the "Wrinkle in Time" set (if you have kids, or even if you're an adult, you must get these for them/read them yourself) but it turns out I didn't buy Wrinkle in Time like i thought others are "A swiftly tilting planet" "A wind in the door" and "many waters" many waters is awesome, it goes back to the time of Noah and has so many lessons, and weird thoughts. Masterpieces, all of them. Oh, and don't forget the Narnia books, which i reread all the time! (except, again, i am missing one - The lion, witch, and wardrobe)

Chronicles, Vol. 1 by Bob Dylan

I'm sure that I won't be much closer to know anything about Bob after reading this book; you never know when he is telling the truth and when he isn't. He is such a mystery. It is still an interesting read though. I would recommend it.

lol- I'm reading The Little HOuse on the Prairie books because I never have

Right now I"m reading "These Happy Golden Years" - then I only have one more to go to finish the series...they're great old books..can't believe I never read them as a kid

After that I'm going to read War of the Worlds...which has nothing to do with the crappy movie soon to come out - I just realized the other day that I've never read any H.G. Wells - so I got a book that has four novels in it

"These Happy Golden Years" is my favorite, for some reason. I never watched the show at all, so I have no clue who the actor that played him is, but I had the biggest crush on Almanzo. I think it's the only one that I still own.

I went on a major kick rereading all of the Anne books by L.M. Montgomery a few months ago.

So far On the Shores of Silver Lake has been my favorite - but I'm now really enjoying These Happy Golden Years

The episodes of the show where Laura meets Almanzo have always been my favorite - and though the book is different from the series...I love them both....

So yeah - I don't know that the books are "better" than the series - they are just different - I love them both....I absolutely adore the show - and actually I think ABC is coming out with another Little House show - based on the books - like they are actually going to follow the books more closely so I'm anxious for that to come out

The Little House on the Prairie books are so much better than the series! When I was in 1st grade, my teacher would always read us the books after lunch. God I miss my youth! I had never seen the show until after I became familiar with the books, and the show was not how I pictured the characters in my head!
