    I would take time out to do all the Top 10 stuff, but I really dont have Top 10 Books and all that, so I really cant do it.. If I did, I'd be lying.. and I'm not a liar.. but for movies, It's definitely The Star-Wars Saga 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th... I really dont know, as I do enjoy other movies.. and I like ALOT of things, so It'd be hard.. I'd have to think long and hard about it as well, hehe.. Antigone_Maroon, fancy a chat on MSN, If so jump on.. I'm sure you've got my email address.. If not, I dont mind.. take care and speak to everyone soon!

    I really do like most of the stuff you do mind, gotta be honest.. and by far Lord Of The Rings is the BEST Book, and for music.. I like them as well, Especially The Beatles, FleetWood, Queen and T-Rex, but for more up to date stuff, I like Drum N Bass, Trance, Hardcore, Techo, Garage, Speed Garage, House, Hard House, Progressive House, Dance & A bit of R'n'B, I also like some Songs from "Dirty Dancing" and some 50's Rock 'n' Roll, and how could I forget Michael Jackson.

    Wow I'm reading Artemis Fowl. I really like it the style is a really nice change. I'm not done yet though so don't tell me the ending.

    oh, yes. it's when he turns 13, he starts looking for his father.

    the gold one's a wee bit better because it's got the message at the bottom of every page, but i believe it repeats itself twice. i'm in the process of translating it...i'm fluent in gnommish(written, of course!).

    it's in the book! the whole decoding device! you know, that excerpt from the "book"...it has every letter needed except for q, x, and j, but you find those out later.

    who wants to hear a really long poem on one of diana wynne jones's books? you had to have read it first, though.

    RussianCliche! I finished the first book on the train home from London on Thursday. The ending was brilliant I loved how the epilogue totally twisted your view of everything. Changing your viewpoint of characters and events is such a clever devise it really makes you question the ideas and morals behind the book. Deep stuff for something that I found on my little brother's bookcase.

    now read the second one. it's a little worse because you find out that there are times when artemis is absolutely stumped.
