LOL over your desert island answer. Before I travel again, I'm getting a Kindle and filling it with books. Then I'm going to pack a solar powered charger for it. Just in case we are stranded for an extended time :-).
I also saw this at Lost In Books. My answers are at http://imbookingit.wordpress.com/2009/06/02/fun-book-meme/
I think The Maximum Series would be a great movie, too. I just wish Frannie and Kit from When the Wind Blows and The Lake House were in the Maximum Series. I liked those characters a lot. I also agree that King is overrated. He is a very good author, but I don't know that he is as fabulous as all that.
The highwayman came riding, riding, riding..
LOL I had to memorize this poem too in highschool...that it he only line I remember.
The highwayman came riding up to the old in door.
I remember one other part, Arielle.
A stable wicket creaked
Where Tim the olster listened
His face was white and peaked
His eyes were hollows of madness
His hair like moldy hay
But he loved the landlord's daughter..
Dumb as a dog he listened,
And he heard the robber say-
Why I remember that part, I dont' know, but it's stuck with me.
