Kacey - I actually have that quote on a sticky note somewhere, but I didn’t know it came from Dixon. LOL that you highlight and bend pages - I can’t bring myself to do that. I write down quotes I like in a separate notebook - I’m a ‘don’t bend the spine or hurt the book’ fanatic.

LOL Bonnie!

Elisabeth - I didn’t really read the whole thing and immediately skimmed quickly past the ‘you have homework’ section of the book. But the monkeys scare me too - my parents said I used to have nightmares about the monkeys.

So Jill & Kacey - did you do the whole thing - watch the movies and everything? Did it make you look at the book differently?

Although, gotta tell ya…I had a really hard time getting through the thing. She uses The Wizard Of Oz too much. Every time I got to a WOZ passage, I’d cringe. It’s those damn flying monkeys. I just CAN’T get them out of my head (and that freaky movie still scares the bageezuz out of me to this day!).

one of my favorite quotes from GMC is “Sometimes the strongest conflicts to achieving a goal are the character’s own emotional roadblocks. Internal conflict is what keeps the character from learning his life lessons”

And yes, I’m one of THOSE people. Who highlight books and turn down pages. But look how quickly I found that quote
