"But of course! Nothing says 'romance' like a kidnapped injured woman!" *

I WANT:

This. The illustrated version.

Because I read this article in The Guardian.

Now I also want to read this:



And this, Christina Rossetti's "Goblin Market."
(Or maybe I will just listen to it.)

I want to know more about this man, who sounds like a real character. To say the least.
He LOOKS crazy, doesn't he?
Has anyone written a biography?
Must find out...


Also want:
To read some of the stories in here:

How could I have missed Carter? Her books look weird and clever and funny, and they have been promptly added to my must-read list.


I loved the film of “The Princess Bride” and want to read the book now.


And how could Neil not tell us the actual name of the story from Lucy Clifford? I just finished The Haunting of Hill House and could do with more "strange and disturbing." He spookily riffed on "The New Mother" in his creepy-oh-so-creepy Coraline, so maybe that’s what he is talking about...

So I want to read Stardust, and I might even want to see the film, if only to check out the can-can-dancing pirate.

And of course, it probably goes without saying that I want (you know, PLATONICALLY):


I mean, c'mon, who wouldn't?!
Gosh, I love me some Neil and am happily engaged in reading his journal archives right now. So smart. So funny. (Have I mentioned so smart?)
