Hi PB - just so you know, I started reading Little, Big yesterday. It's hard for me to read since the book is so big but Gulliver is helping me hold it open. So far I have read 10 pages. It is about a guy named Smoky and he is going to his wedding... I started a thread for it so if you want to hear ...

Lee - remember when you read that Al Franken book? Well, guess what? He has announced that he is running for Senate in Minnesota! Pretty exciting huh? Are you gonna move there to vote for him?

Here is his video announcement:

Everyone be sure to go to this site where one can read the book Peter Rabbit with illustrations! Me and Duddles just finished reading it - it was great. We spotted a lot of bunnies.

I think that we should have a thread name Firefly in the TV forums so we don't get too confused!

Do you guys think that the captain is a bit too surly? He told the doctor that Kaley had died, and then he laughed about it. What was that about?

Hey Lee,

All bears got a free checkup by a trained professional. Well I wanted to go to see if ...

Hey Lee - that's cool you made it out to the West Coast with Schlop and everything. Have you thought about going up north a little bit to Oregon (California's Canada) where you could live in ... the Shire! Check it out:

Not sure if this counts as a snacks-a-lot, but whenever taking road trips I always make sure to pack some dramamine for Duddles. Hope it helps!

Lee - here is another question since you blanked on the last one: what is Coraline's last name?

That Wormy - what a little trooper!

He's always so happy. What a great friend.

Lee I was going to cross Coraline off your list... but I remembered I have to make sure you read it first. It sounds like you read it - but I have to be sure. Okay... the question is what was the subject of the television show Coraline watched? Good luck!

Yeah, I wanna play! Can I move first?

Whoops, sorry Shnoodles, I was on the computer listening to some music and had the volume up to loud... guess I didn't hear you. Do you think the brownies will still be okay without the vanilla extract? I hope so.

I have been planning on reading Little, Big a long time now, but I just read this on Neil Gaiman's blog: ... and mention that John Crowley's Little, Big, one of my favourite books in the world Now millions of people are going to rush out and read this book, but I had bought it before all of them!
