Yeah, we got another vote! Thanks for choicing UTGT. It is a very charming story and both the film and book are fun to read. I like the bits of humor with the choir, really the local band. They are up to some shenigans and I recall when reading the book, actually laughing outloud. It's not a long involved read either which would be great for the Valentine read since we only have a short time. I need to find my book, dust it off and get reading again. I have been in a reading lull lately. Glad you got to see the movie version, caspian. I saw it on TV first and it didn't appreciate it as much as when I saw it again on DVD. I think I was just paying closer attention the second time around and I understood all of the characters better and the humor as well. The more I have watched the movie, the more I have liked it. It's truly a gem.Quote:

We had planned on reading it here and discussing it sometime. I hope when we finally do get around to that discussion, you can join in. I bought a new volume of the book not long ago, started reading it, and somehow picked up something else in-between and need to go back to it soon; I probably will have to start all over again because now I don't really recall what I read. It's a great book though. I recall my first reading and how impressed I was after completing it.
