I just finished reading volume one. I really like CLAMP, and I've seen some of the Angelic Layer anime several years ago. The music is really good.

Sort of. It's The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke. I was a bit worried I wasn't "young" enough or "fabulous" enough. Turns out "young" means twenties or thirties. "Fabulous" means whatever you want it... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~424366280324 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 23:57:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_424366280324?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_424342032004?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Jellyn - I was new to this whole flash drive thing when I bought the Kingston DataTraveler 1 gig drive.

S. Lewis is the penultimate of the Narnia series. Or the first, if you'd like to read them chronologically. The order they were written in would make this one a prequel. Some of the elements of this story really rang... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~424335806084 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 19:33:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_424335806084?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_424181468804?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Jellyn - I just finished watching Oliver! the 1968 movie version of the musical. Which is, in turn, based on the book Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens.

Which sums up the book nicely, though it may make little sense before you find out what the "long tail" is all about. What's the Long... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~423665438340 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 21:17:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_423665438340?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_423098945156?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Jellyn - The Horse and His Boy is the fifth book in the Chronicles of Narnia series by C. S. Lewis. Or it's the third if you're reading them in internal chronological order instead of publication order. Though I'm beginning to think you could read most of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~423098945156 Sat, 22 Mar 2008 13:32:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_423098945156?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_421882465924?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Jellyn - Bouncing off the Moon is the second in the Dingilliad trilogy by David Gerrold. The first is Jumping off the Planet and you really do need to read that one first. Also, be careful in reading this review, as there are bound to be spoilers... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~421882465924 Wed, 12 Mar 2008 19:36:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_421882465924?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_421453860484?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Jellyn - The Silver Chair is the fourth book in C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia. That is, if you're reading them in published order, as I am. Chronologically, it's the sixth and second-to-last book. This series, so far, has followed the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~421453860484 Sun, 9 Mar 2008 15:11:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_421453860484?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_421449076356?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Jellyn - The Secret History of Vampires is a vampire-themed alternate history anthology. Or maybe it's an alternate history vampire-themed anthology. Well, in short, it's a lot of stories by diverse authors about vampires and their impact on history.

While this is a true trilogy in that each book tells a complete story while also being part of a whole, I would... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~420354952836 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 22:05:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_420354952836?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_420346629764?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Jellyn - The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C. S. Lewis is the third in the Narnia series, or the fifth. I'm reading them in publication order, rather than by internal chronology, so for me, it's the third. I actually liked this one better than the two... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~420346629764 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 20:08:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_420346629764?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_420052045444?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Jellyn - From Entrepreneur to Infopreneur by Stephanie Chandler is chock full of good stuff. Chandler tells you how to get started and make money by selling information products.

He wrote the introduction to this book, and I thought at the very least, I'd read that. But it turned out the rest of the book was interesting... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~420046671492 Wed, 27 Feb 2008 14:55:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_420046671492?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_420044443268?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Jellyn - I'm sure I'm not the target audience for Monster House, but I watched it anyway. It didn't particularly interest me when they were airing trailers for it, but it did catch my attention enough that I remembered it when browsing a DVD list... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~420044443268 Wed, 27 Feb 2008 14:41:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_420044443268?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_419815198340?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Jellyn - I received the third movie in this series for Christmas, but thought I should start by watching the first one over again. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is one of those rare movies that I can watch over again without being... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~419815198340 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 21:16:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_419815198340?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_419746582148?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Jellyn - Lust, or No Harm Done by Geoff Ryman is not the type of book I would typically read. Though exactly what type of book it is is hard to say. There's a few different avenues that led me to reading this book.

Maybe you did. But did you know they actually make good hard science fiction? Well, maybe 'they' don't, but David Gerrold does. In Jumping off the Planet we meet Charles, otherwise known... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~419683470980 Sun, 24 Feb 2008 21:03:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_419683470980?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_419682553476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Jellyn - C. S. Lewis's Prince Caspian is the second in the Narnia series, in order of publish date. So I read it second, after The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. If you'd like to read it by internal chronology, then save it to be read fourth... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~419682553476 Sun, 24 Feb 2008 20:43:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_419682553476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_419138473604?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Jellyn - I'm not sure what to think about The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis. I read it once as a kid, and then I saw the movie, and I only finally reread it a few days ago. I don't remember particularly liking it as a kid.

It's not a book I'd read for an intricate plot, intriguing characters, or its emotional impact, but it's definitely on the cutting edge of science fiction. I've read other books by Scott... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~419103542916 Wed, 20 Feb 2008 11:43:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_419103542916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_351329619588?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Jellyn - I was looking through Novelist, trying to find science fiction or fantasy novels with deaf characters in them. Didn't have a whole lot of luck, other than two books in a series I'd read already. So I widened my search to any sort of fiction with deaf... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~351329619588 Sat, 21 Apr 2007 12:36:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_351329619588?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_346486181508?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Jellyn - I read a popular book before Stephen Colbert had the author on his show!

Without much, if any, difference in the prices, Wendy's manages to be classier and healthier. And with the way Burger King's commercials have been going... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~341585202820 Sat, 31 Mar 2007 15:54:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_341585202820?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_341562461828?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Jellyn - After watching a show on PBS about Deaf history, culture, and filmmaking, and after reading a few reviews of Deaf-themed books, I thought I'd check out what my local library has on offer on this subject.
