About six weeks ago, Marc sent to me FPW's books. And, last night, finally I got those books. Those are not ordinary books, those are all signed books!

What a wonderful presents! AC, The Tomb, Sibs, Implant, The Select, Dydeetown World, The Touch. All signed books! I feel those are like a dream! No, it's not dream. It's reality!

I wanna say thanks to Marc, Lisa, Susan. Thanks for a lot of books.

Thank you, FPW. Thanks for wonderful novels and signs.

I found out it from apple.com....The Amityville Horror remake ver. Check this link, and see the trailer. Tell me your thoughts.

My thoughts?......It's sounds interesting. But I think it's not better than original. In any movies, original is best. Good example is "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"

Hi, I'm very new here. I was wondering if someone would tell me what order the books should be read or direct me to the proper thread? Thank very much.

Scott Miller Wrote:I read it to a 3rd grade class last year with great results; they LOVED it. I just attended my son's parent/teacher conference and I received permission to read it to his class around Christmas time, so I'll be practicing as well. My English accent is wildly inconsistent.

I just got back from a stirring performance (my own) of The Christmas Thingy for my son's class and they were entranced, most of them anyhow. Great fun.

It's available on Ebay right now. Auction ends in about 30 minutes. It's currently going for about $580.

Added: My bad. It's a Buy Now auction.

Sam! This is the first time I've seen any reference to "Brotherhood of the Wolf." I saw it 3 times in the theater, and now I own the DVD. I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!

Seeing it 3 times in a NYC theater means spending over $30 bucks, just on the movie! Forget refreshments!

PS I'm a purist at the movies. I don't eat or drink anything while in the theater. I don't want to be distracted from what's on screen.

Crisscross, Friday, Chapter 1 (page 248 in my hardcover edition). Luther Brady says "He and his corrupted PX...". What's a PX? Couldn't find this acronym in the Dormentalism initials "cheat sheet" in the first Monday's Chapter 3 (and I don't remember running into it before, not that my memory is that great).

SPOILER ALERT (I THINK)

Hi, I need the forum's help. I was working on the Compendium today and have hit a "block". Before I tell you what it is, I want to tell you: I am no where near home (and won't be anytime soon) and have no access to any FPW books and am only working off my notes.

I was working on some loose-end notes for "Conspiracies" which led me to a few things for "All the Rage", which led me to my "block". I'll probably slap my head, turned read-faced and think "Of course" once I get the answer form you guys, but here goes........

What novel, short story, novella did the sideshow boss Prather (ie Oz) and his troupe first appear (other than "All the Rage")?

I know, I know........but it's driving me mad.....

PS--Once I get the answer, could one of the moderators please stick this under the collection point thread? Thanks

As much as I liked this movie, I couldn't tell where fiction and nonfiction met. Truth be told: I never read or seen a Peter Pan movie/story. When it comes to James Barrie, I'm a big Admirable Crighton fan. Don't get me wrong. I think not having any reference to Peter Pan helped me to enjoy the movie more. Depp was great as usual, and so too was the supporting cast. It was a joy to see how the story of Peter Pan was born; I just wondered how much of it was true.

My google search for the answers begins shortly. Go see this movie on the acting and storytelling method alone, and Peter Pan fans, could you let me know if that helped you to enjoy the movie more. Thanks ahead of time.

Hey gang, sorry I've been away from this board -- it's been a hellish little holiday season.

Okay, here's the scoop on the Beige Book. Borderlands Press shipped them out to us and we got them a couple of days ago (they were shipped to us via media rate). I am heading down to Paul's home tomorrow (Friday) to get personal inscriptions for those that requested it.

I expect to ship ALL copies of this book on Monday (except for those we don't receive payment for -- we'll be sending paypal requests out today for those that wanted to pay by paypal instead of credit card). If you chose free shipping, it will ship out via media rate. If you chose fast shipping ($5.00) it will ship out Priority Mail.

Now, I have to warn you -- EVEN Priority Mail is NOT guaranteed to show up before Christmas. I fully expect MOST people that use the Priority Mail shipping, especially those on the Eastern side of the country, will get the books by Friday, but there's just no guaranteeing this time of year. Media rate shipping (free) can usually take an extra week, although sometimes it goes just as fast. Media-rate is kind of the USPS's version of a crap-shoot, timewise.

If you chose free shipping when you ordered from us and want to upgrade to fast shipping, email me at spinmatt@aol.com by Friday night.

Again, there's NO guarantee these books will arrive by Christmas. I really really apologize, but it's beyond my control -- releasing a book on December 13th, which is when the postal system goes haywire for the holidays, is deadly. But I'm going to do my very best to get every copy out by Monday.

If you need to cancel your order entirely because it may not be there in time for Christmas, that's totally okay -- email me as soon as possible at spinmatt@aol.com if you want to cancel.

Hope this clears up everything -- I wish I could offer guarantees, but at this time of year, I just can't. But I'm doing everything I possibly can -- to give you some idea of what I'm up against here as well, we're shipping 175 of the 500 total copies of this book out. It's gonna be a long weekend

Feel free to email me at spinmatt@aol.com if you want as well (and hey, I live in Jersey City, so if there's any local Jerseyites who want to pick up their book directly or meet me in NYC, that's fine too).
