Zellie Finish Stardust. The movie PALES in comparison, and they're completely different. 
Thanks, but I know the main character is gonna end up with the star-girl. I knew that two chapters into it! I guess I could finish it up real quick.
Who am I kidding? I don't want to! I have much better things to read! (I told ya'll I'm a book snob!) ^^;

So, what books are taking precedence? @Alvinette - check the tv listings. It might come on again sometime in the future.

I hope so! I'm so mad at myself for missing it the first time.
Man, there are so many novels I want to read right now that it's hard to settle on just one. I might see if I can keep several going at once. Why not? I've had to do that with school books for years. mrgreen

I am now officially intrigued! *adds Stardust to pleasure-reading list*

My limit for simultaneous novel reading is three books at a time, but I usually only read one or two at a time. I end up reading whichever one fits my mood at the time.

My problem is that I don't really know what I'm in the mood for right now. Part of me wants to keep reading fantasies since I just finished Through the Looking Glass, part of me wants to read a romance, and another part of me wants a rip-roaring action-adventure spy thriller with a lot of intrigue and twists and turns. What do I do!? sweatdrop

Now that I'm finished with my thesis [YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!] I have a good stack going. I didn't get to finish The Saga of Rolf Kraki or The Once and Future King. I have Kira Kira, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Phantastes, Apologia Pro Vita Sua, The Princess and Curdie, Dreams Underfoot, all the Harry Potters, The Volsung Saga, The Time Machine, a bunch of Chesterton stories, The Female of the Species, all of Ayn Rand, etc.
I own all these books, by the way. ^^; They want to be read!

The Once and Future King! heart I have it, but I've only read the first part (The Sword in the Stone--and no, I've never seen the movie! crying ). It was sooo good, though! xd

Yes, I read The Sword in the Stone as well and just started the second one, The Queen of Darkness or something like that. They get much darker as they go on. It is a joy to read them as an Arthurian specialist because T.H. White makes all sorts of winks and little references to Malory and other works I've studied.

I have a copy of Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, but I've only read a little bit of it (the description of Arthur's death, which we read in my senior-year AP English class in high school). But for years I've been fascinated with the King Arthur legends.
As for The Queen of Air and Darkness, I've read a chapter or two, but I think I started reading it when school was getting really hectic, so I had to put it down. When it comes to big epic stories like The Once and Future King, I usually dabble at reading them while I'm reading other stuff. I hardly ever read big books straight through for some reason.

I've read a few stories from Le Morte d' Arthur, but I've never read the other two. I would like to read more sometime, but I always find myself gravitating to other books instead.
@Green - On your list, I've read all of the Harry Potter books, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Kira Kira. Kira Kira was sad, but it was good. The Picture of Dorian Gray has a great beginning, slows down A LOT, but then picks up again and becomes extremely thrilling. Overall, I really enjoyed it. 3nodding I bought The Time Machine, but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. I also want to read 1984 sometime.
