They might be for more advanced readers but very entertaining stuff. <BR/><BR/>Thursday Next is a literary detective and quite the quirky lady. The books run along the lines of the alternative history genre, with a mix of scifi, fantasy and some good time travel. <BR/><BR/>They include lots of references to the great literary classics. So, I think there are some good teaching and reading influences here. <BR/><BR/>But most of all they are just fun to read. The first book is the Eyre affair.<BR/>Fun for all!Nicole Maddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02625803683295109189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7550488736096334061.post-86046635833506419282008-05-01T20:59:00.000-07:002008-05-01T20:59:00.000-07:00I started an A.

I liked what I read though. <I>Inkheart</I> is on the list, and #2 just started <I>The Lightening Thief</I> (he's raving about it already -- diabolical scheme of the authors and publishers: instead of a great book kids read again and again, create an entire series so they'll make the folks <B>buy</B> again and again!)

I always feel like it detracts from the book when it's turned into a blockbuster.<BR/><BR/>And what about the Artemis Fowl books? I haven't read them and am curious if they're any good.Slimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13110752594165602950noreply@blogger.com
