Christmas books:
The Art of Spirited Away and The Art of My Neighbor Totoro. I may buy The Art of Ratatouille very soon, along with Cinematic Storytelling, which discusses techniques used in making a film, and Directing the Story, about storytelling/boarding by a past Disney story artist.

I’m currently cheating and reading Drawn to Life on Amazon.com’s preview thing.

Nice, Victor Hugo’s book? Or a Disney book?

Hugo. Haven’t read much yet. When I did stop on arounf page 11 or so it was starting to pick him. Thought the first 10 pages were kinda slow.

Hugo is one of the greatest writers the world has ever known. I perfer Les Miserables to Hunchback though.

I read the book is really dark, and I’m sure it is.

Going through my Art of Tangled book but with a more careful eye. The tiniest details, from construction lines in a rough sketch to simple leaf designs are completely fascinating to me.

Aw, I’d love to read that book!

I just finished Buster Keaton: Tempest in a Flathat. Keaton never had a dull moment in his life. Any fan of entertainment will enjoy this book. Keaton was in Vaudeville child star when Vaudeville was at it’s height, Silent film during its height, was in Talkies, and did many TV apperances and had his own show. The story of his life is also a story of entertainment in America.

Now I’m reading Civil War Wives. It focuses on three wives of famous Civil War notables: Angelina Grimke Weld, Varina Howell Davis, and Julia Dent Grant. I’m currently reading about Angelina, a woman I don’t know too much about, so It’s great to learn more about her.

I’ve never read The Hunger Games I think, but I hear so much good thing’s about it. Is it good?

queen_of_painting · January 3, 2012, 4:14pm

I enjoy the books.

Pixarfan91 · January 3, 2012, 4:22pm

Maybe I’ll give them a try.

Spirit_of_Adventure · January 3, 2012, 4:35pm

I think they’re good, but they suddenly focus on a romantic story that’s quite feeble, specially when it becomes a main plot that isn’t credible AT ALL.

Pixarfan91 · January 4, 2012, 9:21pm
