100% agreement on the poll, I am a majority.
When do we start to read this?
"I am glad to learn my friend that you had not yet submitted yourself to any of the mouldy laws of Literature."
-John Muir
"My candle burns at both ends; It will not last the night; But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends - It gives a lovely light"
-Edna St. Vincent Millay

I wouldn't mind doing this either but what about the time difference?

That's a better story than I had remembered.
The short story bored me even though I read it twice, I really prefered the film which is strange cause I rarely find any interest in film adaptations.
"And the worms, they will climb
The rugged ladder of your spine"
Well thats why I want to know who wants to join in then I can figure out time differances and decide on a time-also as the31st is a monday it will be on the30th

I am in, just tell us what to do firmly as we are all rather like like two year olds sometimes, except Scher who is my idol, and are liable to to it all wrong without your explicit rules and guidance. i am looking forward to this, haven't read it since i don't know when and don't honestly remember that much.

Ok *claps hands for attention*
we are going to read sleepy hollow prefebly on the 29th or the 30 so its fresh in peoples minds!
if you have read it already DO NOT DISCUSS TILL THE 30TH

then Im not sure should we try to discuss it all at once on the forum? or should we do it via msn like the Live chat in the forum??
or should we have a sort of drop in anytime on the 30th and 31st???
humm please tell me your prefernces!

Another of Washington Irving's humorous stories. I have never met a poor Van Winkle, but I have met several who were quite well off.

Has anyone seen one of the film versions of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow?
I have never actually read the book myself, but remember seeing the most recent film version years ago.It had Christina Ricci and Johnny Deep if I remember correctly.Apparently, there is also an older version which came out in 1958.Has anyone else seen either?I didn't mind the film, it was quite thrilling story set in another era and featured many scenes around this mysterious forest.There was this one scene where he comes on the horse, which was epecially atmospheric and very chilling in a Gothic kind of way.
It was rather enjoyable on the whole, but it has been quite a while since I watched it originally.But now I will consider reading the book.
My own brain is to me the most unaccountable of machinery --always buzzing, humming, soaring, roaring, diving, and then buried in mud. And why? What's this passion for?
-Virginia Woolf
“I want to write a novel about Silence,” he said; “the things people don’t say. But the difficulty is immense.” He sighed. - Night and Day
it is fun to think of having a live chat, but it seems like anything that can go wrong does and then noone or only one person shows up. so i like the idea of dropping in, it's not as exciting perhaps but it will still get the job done.
thankyou Nightshade for setting this up. it will be such fun.
"the other eleven apostles can do what they want but this money is coming home with us" rat race.
I'm in. Didn't vote for it, but sounds like fun and I didn't read anything of Washington Irving.
