    - I'd call it the best Superman movie ever made, but I guess perhaps that's feint praise. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 16, 08:15 2

I really need to embrace the fact that my book tastes and ST's book tastes rarely intersect. The Book Thief is very off-putting thanks to its odd - TWuG Dec 16, 07:08 1
