It's The Lorax, and I don't think it's a book, just a movie. I hate Seuss...his art gives me a headache.

Wait, Caffran I think he's talking about Speaker for the Dead. Its one of the "Ender's Game" sequels. I thought it was very good.

It IS a book, and not only is it a book, but it was one even before it was a movie. FYI, Dr. Suess never wrote any movies....it was his relatives that sold his ideas to make movies with mike myers and jim carey.

thanks for the info, I've never actually seen the book anywhere I guess...

although I have seen Seuss's WWII political comics.

I try to read a range, my favourite is F2F by Philip Finch. I read The Hobbit when I was 13, I think I need to re-read it.

I just read a great series called "Stravaganza" by Mary Hoffman. It's more of a trilogy really. Although, I suggest that you start with City of Masks, then go to City of Stars, and then end with City of Flowers. It says that the stars one is first, but it makes reading the masks one excruciatingly long.

I've heard really good things about that series, pianogirl. Is that tho one where the setting is ancient Vienna in an alternate dimension or something?

Another series I forgot to mention earlier was the Myth and Phule series(es? I'm confused!) by Robert Asprin. Sooo good and soooo funny.

Yay! bnadgeeksrus, I'm so glad that there's another McCaffrey junkie on this forum! Have you read any of her other books? Which DroP book is your favorite? Mine's either Dragonsdawn or Dragonsinger.

my fav... hmm i'd have to say "the renegades of pern"

i think i've only read one other so far, i dont really remember the name, i think it was nimica's ship or somthing. it was the one where the main character got sucked into a wormhole and was lost out into the last sector of explored space, met up with some alien ppl and started a colony.
