"Another teenage passion I have not outgrown but grown into, even if I have lost the faith that sustained him through good and ill. One of the great hearers, feelers, and observers, with a passionate language world all his own."

Have you ever picked up a book, thought it was going to be mediocre and realized that it brought out the passion in you? I have read a few books that have truly spoken to me, Parnassus on Wheels is one of those books.

I fell in love with the characters. Helen wanted an adventure and she definitely got it. I wish that this was my life. I would love to take an adventure with a man that is passionate about books. There is nothing better than sharing a passion with someone. I know that I'm one of those people who wants to share my latest read with the next person.

This book makes you want to find your next passion. I know my new dream is to own a bookmobile and travel the world selling books.

Ultimately, this book earns 5 golden stars. I will definitely be rereading this.

The competely love an episode or hate an episode season
This series has some of my favorite episodes and some of my least.
 It also introduced us to Spike so forever grateful to that.
It has my favorite one time character in the Whistler. When Glenn Quinn left i so wanted Whistler to replace Doyle in Angel.
Season 2 has my favorite one of There are some amazing moments in this series and some fantastic quotes.

“Passion. It lies in all of us. Sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us. Passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and dank. Without passion, we'd be truly dead.”



"Bottom line is, even if you see them coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So, what are we, helpless? Puppets? Nah. The big moments are gonna come, you can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are."

Kermode's passion and love for film comes through - love him or hate him :) (2 more)
Mayo is the perfect wingman - great banter and balance with Kermode
Always bang up to date (as you would expect from the BBC)
Highly-opinionated, sometimes controversial, always very entertaining!
