Hey, for some reason I’m thinking you live in Florida, but my instinct is telling me it’s Texas. Either way, are you safe from the hurricanes—Harvey and the upcoming Irma for FL?

Oh, of course you can. I wouldn’t be mad at you doing it even if it was in a negative light, so long as that was how you truly felt. XD But I’m relieved it’s not. Go right ahead with whatever you need to do with it.
(‘Preciate you asking anyway though. 😀 )So you’re doing an article for KP? Wow. Good luck. I tried that several months ago (on…[Read more]

@Destiny Aw, that’s too bad. 🙁 But hey…your destiny does await somewhere. XD And nice mountains in your animation.

Heheh…you asked at an interesting moment. I happen to be reading a book about the gut. Not my first choice of reading material, but hey, educational. It is interesting, when I can stomach the subject material. XD
A fiction book I finished a few days ago though was Mistborn, by Brandon Sanderson. Aside from a few things that really bugged me (not…[Read more]-

Whoops, sorry I didn’t reply to this sooner! XD
I have not read anything by Brandon Sanderson. 😛 I haven’t read too many modern fantasy books (if by that you mean books written quite recently). The Ilyon Chronicles is one of the few I have, and I loved that!
At the moment I’m reading C. S. Lewis’ Cosmic Trilogy (only about halfway through the…[Read more]

Me too. Healing instead of hurting.
I don’t know, actually; I seem to remember having heard somewhere that there was a book too, but I couldn’t say for sure.
Aside from the gore (and language, which is also pretty much inevitable in war movies), and a couple things my mom and dad skipped when we watched it, I SERIOUSLY recommend it. Talk about…[Read more] -

Ack yes, I feel that. I’m bad with the gore/real aspect of war movies (gore in any movies, but obviously with war movies it’s worse) and usually just have to look away. It’s so awful, and yes we’re extremely blessed to not have to live through that stuff.

Oh totally, lots of the wars interest me too, muchly. I just said not ALL war stories are created equal. XD The real life ones—ones based on true stories, esp. CLOSELY based on them—are the best.
And about C.S. LEWIS! Now I’m really interested. About his involvement in WWI, I guess?Have you seen the recent-ish movie Hacksaw Ridge?

I haven’t read War in the Wasteland, but I can say that not all war stories are created equal. 😛 Hope it’s good.
Autographed! Wow. Cool.-
I have to say, the wars interest me, especially the ANZACs and WWII. I plan on giving War in the Wasteland a try at some point. Dad told me that he figured out it’s actually about C. S. Lewis, but he was called Jack, because that was his nickname when he was young.

-
Yeah, I’m guessing. We tried watching a series about the ANZACs in WWI, but it was just too real, I couldn’t handle it, and I think my dad ended up finishing it alone. I know the wars were terrible and horrific, and that we should understand that, but I’m blessed to not to have to live through it, and I really don’t want to know just how horrific,…[Read more]

Sounds good! I like the stories where the character wants to do his part, but doesn’t actually want to kill anyone, or not exactly cut out for being a soldier, so they become a medic.
Is it just a movie, or is there a book?

@Joy A conglomeration and selections of what the others said. 😀 I don’t really like a lot of history revisionism so I’d enjoy something like your idea way better if it took place in another world. But with obvious parallels.

XD I wondered if you were correcting me or something. Not yet, I don’t have them. Well, I do have War in the Wasteland, but I let my Dad read that first, because he likes war stories, and I don’t know if I do. 😉 But Dad is actually going to bring back the Crown and Covenant ones from the States for me, because he knew Douglas Bond as a kid and…[Read more]

Yes, read them! Great Christian fantasy, and my absolute favourite (so far) is Samara’s Peril.Consider me cryptically warned! I really hate stopping books in the middle of reading. I’ve only done that with 3 – We Didn’t Mean to Go to Sea, because it was painfully boring! The first book in the Zion Chronicles, because it had…[Read more]

Yup. ;P And that does sound pretty cool, about comparing his two different stages of style.
Ahh…I dunno. Quite possibly. 😛

Yes. I’m nearly finished reading the first book. My dad was asking about it this morning, like what the ship’s thrusters were, and I’m like “Well, we know as much as the MC, and he was kidnapped, so they’re not telling him. ” Dad said that was how Lewis got away with not explaining it. 😉
Possibly. 😛
-
@emma-flournoy So, I have finished the first book and read the first chapter of the second. So far so good, but nothing much has happened yet, except an extensive description of the PoV’s journey and his fear he was suddenly going mad, and his brief encounter with an eldil. 🙂
