I just finished reading:
The Last Unicorn - Magical, lovely, wonderful. It's not full of action, I didn't swallow it whole in one day, but I really enjoyed reading it.
I just started reading:
The Neverending Story -
"If you have never spent whole afternoons with burning ears and rumpled hair, forgetting the world around you over a book, forgetting cold and hunger--
If you have never read secretly under the bedclothes with a flashlight, because your father or mother or some other well-meaning person has switched off the lamp on the plausible ground that it was time to sleep because you had to get up so early--
If you have never wept bitter tears because a wonderful story has come to an end and you must take your leave of the characters with whom you have shared so many adventures, whom you have loved and admired, for whom you have hoped and feared, and without whose company life seems empty and meaningless--
If such things have not been part of your own experience, you probably won't understand what Bastian did next."
Next, I'm going to read:
Stardust
How about you?
P.S. Oh! Oh! Oh! I found this - Top Ten Book Quotes - {because I was too lazy to type the quote from the Neverending Story} and doesn't it seem like such a fun thing to do? Coming {hopefully} soon to a blog near you.
P.S.S. I'm also in the middle of reading The Earthsea Cycle by Ursula K. Le Guin. Very, very excellent stuff. The Farthest Shore- fabulous!
