1984. I was all of 5.

I think I first saw this in the later 80s,round about Primary 5 or 6 or thereabouts.

I've been traumatised by the swamp of despair and what happened to Artrax ever since.

Framed as a story within a story (see also: 'The Princess Bride'), this follows Bastian who takes refuge in a bookstore when he is chased by bullies: a bookstore in which he encounters the book 'The Neverending Story': a book in which the land of Fantasia is threatened by the nothingness and which seemingly talks directly to him as he reads it whilst hiding in a school attic.

Maybe a bit dated now, but for its time? Enjoyable enough.

July reads!
Just finished my last book for July! Managed 21 which was a little low due to enjoying the Olympics .

Some new authors for me as well as some favourites and some rereads!

Highly recommend Adam Nevill his books are just brilliant Banquet of the Damned was outstanding the second time round.

If you love a good zombie as well as some comedy definitely go for Death in a Northern Town just so so funny!

Worst was possibly Savannah James and The Merchants house they failed to grab me.

As always I have some indie authors in there too!
Mason sabres society dearies is really getting good.

Looking forward to August and the books to come!!

Every good joke is in the trailers.

I watched this in an empty movie theater yesterday, and, well, I know why no one else was there.
First, all of the funniest jokes were in the trailers. Some of the jokes and gags were repeated throughout the movie, which just got tedious after a while. How many times can a kid pull out some sort of adult toy and do something ridiculous with it? How many movies do I have to watch where the character reads the word anal in a different way? That was only funny in Employee of the Month.
Overall, this was just kind of a waste of time. Fail, Seth and Evan.

This is the first time I read any of Trista's poetry, but I'm so glad I did.
Sure, her poetry is not in any format most people are accustomed to, but that's actually why I loved it.
I loved the little photos/images inside the book - simple, sweet, delicate. I felt it went with the fragile and vulnerable tone of the book.

Her poems explore her own sexuality, her experiences with loss, loss, grief, and identity. It's modern poetry that reads like words tucked away, hidden on random pages of a forgotten book in the library and I loved this about it. I loved how random, thoughtful, sentimental,and raw some of the poems were.
