Odd jumped the shark after the second book. The movie sucked too.

agreed!  I kinda gave up after the 4th book due to waning interest, but being that this one is a "conclusion" to the series (we'll see) I figured I'd give it a shot, local library had it, and to be honest, it is good! 

maybe I needed the time away...

have not seen the movie(s?), I vaguely remember seeing a trailer, and thinking looked like it was gonna be pretty bad...

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay - Michael Chabon

I usually give a book 10 pages. If it doesn't catch, I put it down. I didn't have anything else for a train ride so I am about 100 pages deep. Not sure I'll continue with this one.

started reading "To Kill a Mockingbird" with daughter, but my wife seems to think she's a bit young yet (and her teacher concurred) Sad  so we'll save that for another day...

reading Jack London: An American Life now

right??!! 

more like women in general... Wink

anyways I made my case (which has never been a strong suit) and have talked to my daughter about the subject matter, both while reading this & Tom Sawyer, so she has a "decent" understanding of how screwed up people can be and how far we have come (and how far to go) and the importance of not basing how you treat people on color of skin, accents, etc

she's got a pretty good head on her shoulders (much better than I at her age for sure), and is bummed to not continue for now, as she was really enjoying it...

back to Magic Tree House for you kid! Wink   

We did just read another really interesting younger person's book, well she read first & gave me the waytogo to read too (I liked it, lots of pictures Wink )

"John Dies at the End" -David Wong

Reading this one for the second time, batshit insane and incredibly hilarious, man I love this book.

The liner quote is perfect- "like a cross between Douglass Adams and Stephen King"

Anybody see the movie? is it worth a look?
