Today’s Specials:
- Peter T. Chattaway quotes some Overstreet guy in one of his articles… a piece about Hollywood’s search for that elusive “Christian audience.”
- As is frequently the case, I’m one of the last people to hear about a very good thing. So, for the record, I have just discovered what may be the finest bookstore accessible online: Eighth Day Books. Visit the site, read their philosophy. You’ll understand why Anne and I invested in so many books when we discovered the “portable” version of the store set up at the Glen Workshop in Santa Fe. The store owner, Warren, worked tirelessly to provide all of us conference-goers with new discoveries and good deals. (He even shipped stuff to our homes for free!) Anne and I received our box of Eighth Day goodies yesterday, and it was like getting Christmas in the mail early.
Good article on the Chattaway site! I think you’ve got it pretty much nailed. It will be interesting to see what happens with the first Narnia pic.
Yes, 8th Day Books is great!

I’ve never read Martin’s Work, any recomendations?
I’ve never read Martin, but Anne is a voracious reader of fantasy literature, and Martin is one of her favorites. She would heartily recommend starting with “A Game of Thrones.” (“A Feast of Crows” is the fourth book in that series.)
Once you start Martins you have a very hard time putting it down.
I would give it a mature rating and wouldn’t recommend it to youngsters, but very well written.

any recomendations?
Secure copies of all four books before you start, as you really won’t want any downtime between them. Set aside a week or so, depending on how fast you read, because you’ve got 3000 odd pages to read, and no time for distractions like food or sleep.
