Portland, OR trip, etc..

Because we got some super-awesome free tickets,and had a long weekend, Colin and I took the Amtrak Cascades train down to Portland!
It was my first real train-trip. And I must say, I quite enjoyed it.

Once we got to Portland, we met some of Colin's Hampshire friends went to a very nice pub, and stayed overnight in Lake Oswego with another friend. ( Read more... )

"...Coraline (which is very good, even though it's a Young Adult book)"

Many young adult and kid books are crap. But there are many that are very good. Kinda like adult books.

It's true. I was mostly saying that because some people might be put of to buying it when they see that it's Y.A....which they shouldn't, because it's really quite good.

Oi, okay.

"Coraline" was nifty, though I didn't care so much for the ending. I think the high light for me was that I got it on CD from the library; and Gaiman read it himself. He does a good reading. I was dissapointed that he didn't do the audio edition of "Anansia Boys".
