Library Run

[joewithnoname.livejournal.com]

I went to the library to check out my canon (The Good, The Bad & The Ugly) which was listed as available.

It was not available. It was missing since March of 2000.

Is it just me, or should stealing from the library be answered with the death penalty?

In the meantime, I got A Fistful of Dollars (Joe's Future!Canon) and The Books of Magic graphic novel (a fraction of Tim's canon).

Whose canon is on *your* reading list? Whose canon have you read recently? And how do you feel about library thieves?

Grrrrrr.

I am reading Moiraine's canon (The Wheel of Time series), with David's canon (the Vampire Chronicles) up next when I'm in the mood for more melodrama. I also need to rewatch/reread the canon of a character I'm hoping to bring in (::crosses fingers mods will have approving time soon::). I've re-read the Sandman series and HP and the Order of the Phoenix in the last couple months. I want to read Anton Vowl's canon but apparently the book is out of print, or at least difficult to find.

Library thieves should be sent to a special hell where they perform story time for ill-behaved children, their only available books being Hoyle's Book of Rules and Everybody Poops.

I know the feeling; I headed to the library once, went directly to a shelf to grab a well-loved book, and it wasn't there. I checked the computer and it was listed as 'lost'. I've gone over a ton of the cannons(long list; I'll get around to documenting it somewhere) and right now I'm going through Eyre Affair and planning to snag the tDiR series when I can. I'm also making a note to grab Joe's cannon the next time I'm at ye local video place, along with Gone With the Wind(Scarlett hasn't been around since I checked the book out of the library, but I got through that in something beyond the suggested reading time. eep.)

Library thieves? Drawn and quartered, iron maidens, blood eagles. Take your pick!

I'm currently reading Sabriel, which is Yrael's canon, and bugging my local bookstore for a copy of Curse of the MistWraith, which is Prince Arithons.
*coughs* and I also do read (or at least skim and read interestin/pertinant parts) of comics/mangas in the store, so I've gotten bits and pieces of Fables, X-Men, Sandman, Uktena, Ranma 1/2... and maybe even others.
I also know I got a stack of movies to watch, and more to rent, HP books to re-read, and others to re-read as well.

Reading, Crack, Sleep (sorta!) and Work. Thus go the days of my life.

Library thieves: Hang 'em High.

Really.

I read Beth's canon and Todd's canon and I'm on Douglas Adams right now, and I have some Janet Evanovich (Stephanie Plum's canon) and I have the ultimate pleasure of watching Spike's own canon as often as I want.

I know your canon.

I also (so sue me) know Beavis & Butt-Head's canon way too well.

[joewithnoname.livejournal.com]

So there's three of us, you me and Shipwreck-mun. I think my canon may one of the more obscure ones here.

[desert-worm.livejournal.com]

I know your canon! Know and love! The theme music gets stuck in my head every few weeks!

Have recently purchased For a Few Dollars More as well. Am looking forward to it. Mmm, Clint Eastwood.

[not_that_spike]

Really? Those movies were such a pivotal part of my misspent youth (you don't want to know, honestly). I can't imagine people not knowing them: those films are such classics. Kind of right up there with The Great Escape and The Magnificent Seven (and man, do we need Vin & Chris here). I'd have thought Bebop was more obscure than your spaghetti westerns.

[joewithnoname.livejournal.com]

It's more obscure in general, but less obscure in our highly geeky population, methinks.

I know someone who considering apping Vin. *pokes a certain mun*

[timsbooks.livejournal.com]

Well... I've already read most of the canons here.... I'm constantly re-reading discworld... and catching up on the tims i don't have yet.

[minkhollow]

Finally got my hands on the first volume of Sandman last month - have yet to procure any more, but hey, I've started. XD Also on the list are Bernard's canon, Mogget's canon, and Beth Metatronim's canon (though that's mainly because it's also been leaking into the Discworld RPage as of late, and now I'm all intrigued and stuff).

[joewithnoname.livejournal.com]

What is Beth Metatronim's canon? I saw her posting in her and couldn't figure it out. I'm pretty sure I've read everything DW.

[fairest1.livejournal.com]

I think Beth is actually an OC. I saw some of the entries on the character journal, and they refer to DW characters, but not in a cannon sense.

[minkhollow]

'S also for discworld_rpg; I'm not sure exactly how we ended up with the other canon sneaking in there, but we did.

[minkhollow]

Burying the Shadow by Storm Constantine.

[balletrat]

I am (slowly but surely!) making my way through Sandman - although when I, back home for a few days, was gleefully anticipating continuing from where I started out when I left for college several weeks ago, I found to my dismay that the bookstore had sold number three, which was next in line for me. Sold to someone else, mind. How dare they!

[granny-esme.livejournal.com]

Shame on them! Much shame. Yes. *nods decisively*

[granny-esme.livejournal.com]

I have read far fewer canons than I ought, and there's no excuse for it as I work in a library, too.

I've read The Dark Is Rising series, although it's been *ages* and I wanted to reread them even before Milliways - one of those things where I'd remember the books, or a scene from one, and couldn't bloody well remember the name of the series. So... thanks, guys, for being a very very visible reminder. *grins*

I have both watched and read "The Princess Bride."

I've read (most of) Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, although I think I got lost somewhere after The Body Thief.

I <3 Sandman. Madly. I talked my mother into buying them for the college library.

I own "Sabriel" but I never got the other book in Yrael's canon.

I've seen at least part of an episode of every canon that's a TV show. I think. Probably not, but close? Maybe?

I've recently read Bean's recent canon (new entrance tonight! Go Bean!) and the rest of the Ender's Game books.

My favorite book ever is Good Omens. But I haven't read it in a few months, because my copy has, I think, gone to Chicago without me. Woe.

And I have absolutely no idea where to start on catching up with canons.

Aside from re-reading my puppet's exploits, I've just made my way through Hellblazer. Am almost through Season II of Farscape.

That's it?
Day-am I'm a slacker.
*sighs*

I am constantly going through my various toys canons. 'Cause it's fun and to try not ot bastardize them too much. I've been watching the Teenage Muntant Ninja tutles movies (I and II) on an almost weekly basis. I'm reading and watching all of the Jeeves & Woostr I can find. (I need to bother Bertie sometime. I need to.) And I'm trying (and repeatedly failing) to read the Silence of the Lambs.

And library thieves? Should be tortured, then electrocuted, then skinned, burnt alive, have people dance on their ashes and then bake the ashes into a pie to feed ot other library thieves. Bastards!

I work in a library, and a week ago, a girl came in who is noted for having tried to steal books multiple times in the past. So almost the entire staff trailed her around the building for half an hour. Hilarious, yet so sad that measures like these are necessary. She checked out the books she found, but we'll probably never see them again. I just don't get it.

[street-sparrow.livejournal.com]

I'm currently working my way through a reread of the TDiR Sequence (one volume, five books, yay).

I was oddly amused to find a throwaway reference to a "Mrs. Pettigrew, the widowed postmistress" in The Dark is Rising (the book, not the series), in view of Peter and Will's Milliways friendship.

[maid-of-astolat.livejournal.com]

I've read three books of TDiR, I've read Apt Pupil *shudder*, I just read Good Omens and laughed my head off, I've read a smidgen of Fables, all of HP, I love to watch Red Dwarf (bring it back, PBS!)...oh, and there are probably many others. Many, many. :-)

[hooper-x.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty familiar with Joe's canon, I have entire episodes of Beavis and Butt-Head commited to memory... I read TDiR in junior high and LOVED them, although I'm a bit foggy. Used to love Red Dwarf, seen Princess Bride a dozen times, am vaguely familiar with a lot of the fantasy-novel canons, completely blank on others. Know the basics of Books of Magic, etc., know a decent bit about the TMNT comics, seen almost all of the Ernest movies, seen Robot Monster at least twice, read Good Omens cover-to-cover several times, eventually going to get around to Still Life With Woodpecker, have been known to google unfamiliar canons...

And have only read the one Discworld book. I thought it was just too goofy.

Also, never seen Cowboy Bebop, but enough of my friends are into it that I vaguely know what's up.

-HX, personally would like to see Tommy Vercetti in here, but that's just me.
