I'm listening to Salamandastron as I'm typing this post!

@Firehawke cool! :) will be listening to Taggerung later. I've missed that book. I miss all of my favorites.

That's a great book, too!

I'm making my way through all of the books again in chronological order, so it will be a bit before I get to Pearls of Lutra and Taggerung.  I originally was going to read them all, but I decided to go ahead and listen to some (in part because Redwall is my happy place, and also because I am in the middle of rereading Silmarillion)

I wasn't crazy about them, but they were good.

I didn't really like either of them... ;D
Dreams, dreams are untapped and writhing. How much more real are dreams than that paltry existence which we now call reality? How shall we ascend to that which humanity is destined? By mastering the dreamworld of course. That is how, my pupils, that is how.

That grin is so deceiving.
I can never tell if you're joking or not. :P

I grin, when I am either joking or just trying to show that I am not trying to offend. ;D (Like that. ;D And that. ;D And that. ;D IT WON'T STOP!!!! ;D)

Well, I don't really know...I use grins so frequently that even I don't know what they mean... ;D But I was being serious in the post which we are speaking about. ;D

I liked them, as I liked most of the Redwall books, although they were not in my list of favorites. Mara in particular always annoyed me.

I'm actually re-reading the Pearls of Lutra as I'm writing this! I loved Emperor Ublaz. I thought he was by far the coolest villain of the series!

I really wish we could have seen more of Cap'n Barranca. He seemed like a good character...

I didn't really like Salamandastron, but Pearls of Lutra is one of my favorites.
Life is often like pushing a luggage cart through the airport. Sometimes I feel ridiculous, sometimes I look ridiculous, but I just keep pushing that luggage cart, and hoping I'm generally heading in the right direction.
