So, you mean he was as crazy as the characters and situations they created, basically? All messed up?

Well, he was an alcoholic, except he could give it up so easily. He was also extremley brilliant -- he was a qualified doctor and everything, he just never doctored because he never did the three years in a hospital. He was a really strange guy. Watch Life of Brian -- he's so fit. That's because he stopped drinking after Grail [which if you watch, he's drunk most of the time] and got fit, just like *that*. He did strange things. He was very difficult to work with [only John Cleese could ever really do it]. The book of course tells this from the perspective of the Pythons themselves, and it's really weird to see what they all thought of him, 'cos they all loved him -- just didn't like him.

Bones and Murder by Margaret Atwood.
My English teacher put me onto it. It's really quite insightful and witty.
"I hear that this game was once played at a summer cottage by six normal people and a poet, and the poet really tried to kill someone. He was hindered only by the intervention of a dog, which could not tell fantasy from reality. The thing about this game is that you have to know when to stop."

Finished Out of the Silent Planet and all but a few pages (skimmed over some around the end of the book) of Perelandra, 2 of 3 books in C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy. I started reading the third (That Hideous Strength), but I imagine it'll be awhile before I bother to finish it. I hope to finish Heroes of History soon enough, but I'm still less than a third of the way through.

mwhha, Exit to Eden, eh? It's really ... sort of blah, to me, I much preferred her Beauty series. Though I'll admit reading this one certainly contributed to my ... knowledge bank.
Oooh, or Belinda!! That's a VERY good one. Very into the psychological, much more feeling in that one.

Well per the recommendation I'm also reading Exit to Eden... with a quickening pulse and sweaty palms I might add.
I'm definitely going to explore Belinda when I'm done here.
Aside:
I thought the movie was ok (Exit...) after reading the book I revise that to the movie truly sucked.... don't bother.
Oh yeah... you have to pay a penance for using my>>>

Well, I didn't MAKE it...I just added it. I dunno what spurred me to it. I think I was adding other smilies and couldn't pass it up. I admit that it reminded me of Toose, though.
Anyway, read some more of Heroes of History (Athens was one freaky place). Still tons left, though.

I'm much more of a Lewis Carrol person.
Although the names do have a word in common.
Not much else I wouldn't assume.
I've read Alice in Wonderland (Lewis Carrol) and The Beach (Alex Garland) both for about the hundredth time in the past week.
I really need to have a look at some new stuff.

I read the first part of The Annotated Alice once -- you'd like it. Crawling with foot notes and (obviously) annotations.

I would.
I'll look into it.
Perhaps I'll buy it.
Hey, if I win the Oscar tipping thing, you can get me that instead of the DVD.

Prince Caspian and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Few books are as imaginative as the latter. What an AMAZING movie it would make if done well.
