you know, c.s. lewis said (when asked why/how he wrote his vast variety of top-notch books) that he wrote what he'd always wanted to read. i think that's a great goal. i would love for God to be as indiscriminate in my literary favor as he has toward me in many other areas--that he would send my roots rain and let me breed one work that wakes. or, given your comments, perhaps i should say, one WORLD that wakes.

that quote from the neverending story remids me of bit of a movie i watched once. a little princess. the new one. nothing like the book tho. the father tells sara that when you close a door the dolls come to life but before you can get back in they are back in their places quick as lightning.

have you ever read the neverending story? it was written first in german and then translated. it is wonderful children's literature. i love that age of literature. another one of my favorites is the giver. the sequal to it is gathering blue both by lowis lowry. she also wrote number the stars that won a newberry honor. and of course tuck everlasting. and my all time favorites, narnia. i have all seven of the books on cd by focus on the family and in one of them the step son douglas gresham says that jack wrote the book for both children and adults. because he thought that adults would get as much out of them as children. so he wrote it for his sake too! i have one of his books, letters to children, and in it he says tho that children are quicker to pick up on the parallels to the Bible than adults. that is a good book too!

ok i will shut up now. =) i tend to go overboard when talking about books.
