I liked the Bartimaeus trilogy, and Monster Hunter International was pretty awesome. 

I also like the original Winnie the Pooh and Thomas the Tank Engine books, though.  Laugh if you like, but they're good!  wink

The awesomeness of a movie can, under normal circumstances, be easily calculated by counting the number of cars destroyed and multiplying that figure by the number of witty comebacks issued by major characters. The Avengers is a very high ranking movie on this scale.

"Harrison Ford is the President of the United States" is the perfect movie tagline.

Yay! Someone else who reads really old books, too! I LOVE the Lost World! Circle series, Lost Book series, Burn, Mortal, Forbbiden, Blink, all by Ted Dekker. (No, I'm not a fan of his writing!)
