Thus, that is why they are immortal. My fascination with Enid Blyton's books led me in writing and publishing a book on her, titled, The Famous Five: A Personal Anecdotage (www.thefamousfiveapersonalanecdotage.blogspot.com). Last Friday, I happened to watch the latest Harry Potter movie. during the pre-show ads, I learnt that a second movie has been made about C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia. It is high time that The Magic Faraway Tree stories that include The Enchanted Wood, The Magic Faraway Tree and The Folk of the Faraway Tree be made into bonafide cinematic movies.<br />Stephen IsabiryeEnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00209746639260312563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681312837094557550.post-31189448302419523032010-11-28T20:04:54.741+05:302010-11-28T20:04:54.741+05:30@Scarlett Thats true for me for HP too!

And for some reason I am unable to re-read chick flicks..I could possibly read devil wears prada and Bridget Jones Diary again.. but not the shopoholic series. BTW, there's a new book in this series - Mini shopoholic. How did you like Adrian Mole?<br /><br />Well I still maintain, you need to read one PGW in full. And if after that too you dont like it.. well then we would disagree!<br /><br />And definitely read magic faraway tree!! Its awesome.. You can get it in any bookstore. :)Moonshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01112996795287324549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681312837094557550.post-53051629442700692292010-11-28T19:58:00.022+05:302010-11-28T19:58:00.022+05:30Well, given that I wasn't a reader till I was ...Well, given that I wasn't a reader till I was about 14-15, my feel good books are mostly books I've read as an adult. And since they're "feel good" books, they tend to be comedies. Chick flicks, to be precise. So there's Bridget Jones I & II and the shopaholic series. I can read them randomly...a few pages here & there, they need not be read from cover to cover every time. There's also HP...but once I start re-reading one of the HP books, I need to read them through.<br /><br />I never did get the big deal about PGW. But think I will read the Faraway Tree series now.Scarletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08909702073286784203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681312837094557550.post-23098929810129772382010-11-28T19:01:23.165+05:302010-11-28T19:01:23.165+05:30@melee Extremely.
