A Dracula tour, however, would probably be more awesome than cheesy. :)<br /><br />Letter4no1: I love that you had Faerie on your list. As much as I worship Gaiman as a writer, I didn't really like Stardust when I read it, mostly because I felt that *gasp* the movie was actually better. I just liked the ending in the film more. Regardless, Faerie was indeed an amazing idea and a fun world to delve into.<br /><br />smellincoffee: I wonder that myself. As an American (for now, at least), I was always curious as to what an American wizarding school would be like.gabrielreadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11809365791580695386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515719778921089707.post-71821646950786902682011-06-07T18:22:58.381-04:002011-06-07T18:22:58.381-04:00I would like to visit more magic schools in the Ro...I would like to visit more magic schools in the Rowling verse...what, I wonder, does the Salem Academy of Witches look like?

Especially so that you can yell at me for being such a bad friend. :(<br /><br />Karen: Thanks! I'd love to visit ANYWHERE to be honest. The only time I was out of the States it was to go to Canada...and I think we all know that that doesn't really count. I highly recommend Neverwhere if you like London or reading or breathing.

So when I found out that it was a book first, I was like "must. read. now."<br /><br />confessionsofacommonreader: I thought I would be, too. Glad to see that there are at least two of us. <br /><br />Willa: Thanks! I thought this list would take me longer to compile but I completed it in about a half an hour. All these settings just kept coming to me. I didn't realize I'd paid that much attention to the worlds in the books that I read.<br /><br />Anne: I would, too. A friend of mine went to Paris while were in high school and she made sure to snap a photo of the cathedral for me. And to bring back yummy goat cheese. :)<br /><br />Trish: Thanks! I'm kind of an architecture lover, even if I know nothing about the subject. I can just barely discriminate Gothic architecture from other forms, but other than that I can't tell you a thing. I just like looking at beautiful buildings.<br /><br />Sally: Weaveworld was amazing as well, but I don't remember much about it, to be honest. I'm going to be rereading it again when I can find a copy, though. Right now I'm just trying to get through the massive tome that is Imajica. It's one of my favorite books but it can be really time consuming. <br /><br />Skye: I'm always excited when I see that other people have read the book instead of just seeing the musical. Most people give me a weird look when I ask them if they've heard of the novel. I don't think people realize that Andrew Lloyd Webber never had an original thought in his life. He got all his ideas from books, even Starlight Express, which is based on the Little Engine that Could. <br /><br />Tara: Good call on boarding schools. I always wanted to attend one when I was growing up but it wasn't going to happen in a million years, sadly. <br /><br />Sabrina: Thanks! It's terrifying because of all the myth that has sprouted up around it because of its violent history, but I'm told that it's really a beautiful country. <br /><br />kaye: I love Middle Earth but, as I've only read the first book (shame on me), I didn't want to count it because my only real experience with it is through the films. Can't wait to see what classics you review.gabrielreadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11809365791580695386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515719778921089707.post-47684567909492990662011-06-07T11:25:21.752-04:002011-06-07T11:25:21.752-04:00love your list!
