Books and Anime

    Well, I finished reading Howl's Moving Castle and I have to say that I really enjoyed it.  I found that every character was very interesting and had a lot of development and there were several twists that were really good.  I aslo read The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.  I know it has surprised everyone that I have told that this is the first time I read the Narnia books.  To be honest I have no idea why it took me so long but I must say that I am enjoying them very much and can't wait for the movie to come out.  I am a little partial to Edmund because, if I remember correctly, he is the favorite of a very good friend of mine.
   
    Right now I am reading Prince Caspian and more than likely will have it finished before the end of the day.

    I also can't wait until the new Harry Potter book comes out......I am a going to a midnight release party so that should be interesting at the very least.

    As for the anime part of the subject of this journal......I have recently gotten into a new anime named Yakitate Japan....I don't know what to say here except that it is funny and enjoyable and the characters are very interesting.....Also, I downloaded another anime named Beck, which was shown to me by the same person that showed me Yakitate Japan, and if I remember correctly it is about a band getting together...

    I still have to catch up on Naruto and Prince of Tennis..which, since I don't think I will be working very much at the end of July and beginning of August, I will do then.....


EDIT I finished "Prince Caspian" and now am working on "The Magician's Nephew"....I found two different orders for the books so I think I am reading it in the most logical order...I hope...

Chronicles of Narnia in order:

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
The Horse and his Boy
Prince Caspian
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
The Silver Chair
The Magician's Nephew
The Last Battle

The only alternate order I've ever seen places The Magician's Nephew first, as it's an allegory for Genesis, but Lewis wanted readers to have the whole story (save the end) before they saw the beginnings, so the beginning of Naria serves to explain questions raised in the first five books.
