CDA said:Actually Peder, I don't think I can ad anyting to my last response to you.
CDA said:I can't know what something's like if it doesn't exist. People's notions, I suppose, may possibly interest me.
Something would have to exist for you to find out what it was like. You never find out what a Wizard school is truely like, because it doesn't exist. All we get is merely an author's interpretation of what they /think/ it would be like, not the true reality.Doug Johnson said:A school for Wizards doesn't exist. It's still interesting to find out what its like.
I am 43 yr old man and I loved this book. I have even stood in book shops, seen people mulling over the idea of buying it and convinced them to go for it. Could be just me being in touch with my fem side...name said:My mom recommended that I read The Lovely Bones and I have to admit that I was skeptical about it at first. I trust my mom though, and like a good son, I did as I was told. I'm glad that I listened as I absolutely loved the book. Is it chick lit? I'm not sure, but if it is, then I guess I like chick lit. Now I'm reading all sorts of good reviews of The Secret Life of Bees and they all seem to be written by women as well! Have any of you read this book? Any scouting reports would be much appreciated.

Motokid said:It is a different story. One that certainly tugs at heart strings and may have a stronger pull on parents of daughters. I loved the slightly unorthodox description of heaven and how things were there. If the book had gone too religious I would have probably put it down, but that's not where things went. It was a pleasant surprise.
I agree. Heaven is meant to be the best place you can ever go, a "reward" for living your life for God, yet different people would think different things as "best" would they not? For heaven to be heaven for everyone, then I think that surroundings would have to be tweaked for each individual person, otherwise it would not be the perfect place that it is said to be.Miss Shelf said:Why shouldn't each person's heaven (or the first level or whatever it is) be self-centered? Isn't that the point of going to heaven-most people think of it as a place they create themselves. I wouldn't want to go to heaven if it was run like a boot camp.

Hope you can understand something I was trying to get across throughout all that rambling
