Book you started and never finished: Hatchet (1987) by Gary Paulsen

• at least I think I never got to finish it in grade 8

Not part of the challenge: I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings (1969) by Maya Angelou

• My copy is an retired library/first edition. It is well worn and has student notes in it.

Not part of the challenge: Springtime Begins in March (1968) by Jean Little

Book that was made into a movie: Howl's Moving Castle (1986) by Diana Wynne Jones

• Originally, I was going to use Black Beauty, then I changed my mind to Fugitive Pieces, then this.


• Need to see the movie again

Not part of the challenge: Scott Pilgrim and the Infinite Sadness (2006) by Bryan Lee O'Malley

Non-fiction: Secret Cinema: Gnostic Vision in Film (2006) by Eric G. Wilson

• He's sort of snobby, but it has some interesting stuff in it. I am putting some of the bibliography on my to-read list.


• This used to be Other Sister's book. I don't think she got much out of it, I doubt she saw most of those movies.


• He used the word crepuscular alot. It's now one of my favourite words.


• He seems extra anti-Tom Cruise, but he had a point about Vanilla Sky.
