Has anyone ever read the book To Sir, With Love?  Good book.  I did a book report on it this summer.  Some of you may have seen the movie which is probably more well known than the book.  I liked both the movie and the book.

I saw "A Scanner Darkly" last week.  Which as based off the 1977 novel by Phillip K Dick.  I also have the graphic novel, unlike most book to movie films, "A Scanner Darkly" is accurate to the book.  And in the movie they used this really cool form of animation called "rotoscoping" where they shoot the movie in live action and animate over it.  It's a really cool movie.  Here's a trailer I found on YouTube.     http://youtube.com/watch?v=VpCpL9MgxzA (http://youtube.com/watch?v=VpCpL9MgxzA)

A book I can really recommend to everybody is "The never ending story" by Michel Ende. Don't let yourself be frightened away by rather poor movie adaptations of the book, it is really awesome and telling more than a story for mere entertainment (which certainly doesn't come too short either).
