Fun With Nostalgia
Did you read the Dark Is Rising sequence as a kid?
Take a moment and see how much of the poem you can recall. Can you recite the whole thing from memory? (Don't type it into the comments, please. I'm not really concerned with how much of it you remember--this is strictly for your enjoyment--and you shouldn't ruin the fun for the next person).
I've been thinking about this series a lot recently, because it's a big part* of how M and I became friends, waaay back in the ninety-somethings, and we're coming up on our fifth wedding anniversary. How cool is that?
(And yes, as a matter of fact, I can recite the whole poem from memory.)
*Along with The Chronicles of Prydain, Bored of the Rings, and a handful of others.
Now, HERE'S the audience participation question:
What books have played significant roles in creating and cementing your close friendships?
