Book Series Discussion Thread

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

they're not exactly boring......But, because it's not Christian I'm going in with slighlty skeptical view. But it's interesting.

Yeah, what with a little language and romance I probably like Animorphs better, although neither are Christian. I just talk about MR because no one else has read Animorphs. :)

by the way, as long as there is no evolution or anything, I'm willing to do an RPG with MR.

Sweet okays. :D You mean like how they develop more powers? I'm pretty sure that's not evolution, per se. Just mutation.

Oh, well MR and Animorphs both mention evolution a couple times (global warming also in MR) but no actual evolution taking place. Just like a passing fact like "I wondered what it was like before humans evolved..." or something passive like that.

The Flock members don't evolve; they just have extremely unstable genes that tend to mutate on a regular basis. :-

The evolution of the perfect peanut butter! \:D/ *checks peanut butter* It's still a working process... *sighs* If only I had millions of years so that I'd be around to perfect it. :(

We are so terribly censored. ;) We are also probably far less traumatized and morally confuzzled than other children because of it, also.

LBT was quite interesting but it was very evolutionist, although I don't remember New Age being in it.....New Age is in Lion King though.....But back to MR.....

Are we going to do an rpg on it?

and.....I have read farther so I'm on part IV, I believe. It's quite interesting.

Um, sure! If we have enough people interested (I mean, three people is a bit short of what's needed.)

Oh, and Fang:

I READ MAX AND IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! \:D/ It was Faxy and all of the Flock (minus Angel) got a new power! \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ The M-Geeks have Uzis instead of right hands... :dark:

I'm still on the first book, the Angel something or other book, but it's split into different parts. (or at least that how it was when you sent it to me) I'm at the part where they just re-escaped from the School.
