  1. Oh my, thanks, you guys! Gosh, I haven't been here for like, forever. XD

  2. I love UP, and am very pleased that it's up for Best Animated Feature. I hope it wins it. UP is by far my favourite movie, ever.
  3. Well, I used to be pretty scared of Goosebumps as a child. When I read the books now, though, I find them very predictable and funny, and the spook factor is gone. I hear Fear Street is more frightening, and it should be a Young Adult book too, shouldn't it? In any case, I think there shouldn't be a restriction on horror. The EverWorld series is YA and pretty dark and violent at the same time. It depends on how much individual kids are willing to take.
  4. My first fantasy book was probably an Enid Blyton one, but I can't honestly remember. One of those short stories, I guess. I hated them though. Or it could've been children's books like Lady And The Tramp or Puss In Boots. As for science fiction, it's probably The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. For horror, it's got to be Goosebumps. I've forgotten which was my first book though.
  5. Has anyone read any of the following books that I'm thinking of reading? The Catcher In The Rye The Great Gatsby Tuesdays With Morrie The Scarlet Letter A Clockwork Orange Jonathan Strange And Mr Norrell Life Of Pi The Time Traveler's Wife Midnight's Children
  6. UP, 'nuff said. It's the first time I ever cried in a cinema. I cry at the third Pokemon movie too. *looks away in embarrassment* But yeah, it's these little kids' films that choke me up.
  7. It makes sense that we see so many English here in a UK site, but HH here is a Singaporean.
  8. I actually made it to the youngest category! I'm 17 years old.
  9. I'd say I prefer poetry to rhyme, but that's only cuz I haven't encountered many striking poems in my lifetime, and most of them are unrhymed and choppy. But the importance is in the overall structure of the poem, I'd say, rather than just rhyming or otherwise.
  10. I would say that a classic is a book that has been read by not just the common folk, but literary people. People who have influence over book awards, book rankings. Basically, I feel that once a book has gained some recognition from the experts, it's a classic.
  11. The deaths were a little bit sudden but everything does seem to fall into place nicely. The epilogue was very cheesy though, when contrasted with the grittier story. I LOL-ed at the naming of the children after dead people. And did anyone else flip over the last page, expecting to find more?
  12. Hm, I think the most disgusting book I've ever read is A Density of Souls by Christopher Rice. I think there've been worse books, but this one sticks in my memory cuz I picked it up not knowing it was going to incorporate, well, mature themes. I was only about eleven then.
  13. Oh I'm a huge Douglas Adams fan. I've read the Hitchhiker's series, the Dirk Gently series and the Salmon of Doubt, and love them all. I actually find Dirk Gently less confusing than Hitchhiker's, cuz it's set in a more realistic setting as compared to a thoroughly science fiction setting for the latter.
