I'll just give the answer it's Liir.

Ok I'll ask a Harry Potter one lol.

Ok an easier one then.

What was Malfoy's father's name?

[Pal]

Ohhhhh, LOL!!!!!! You said "Wicken"! When I saw that, I thought it was some science fiction book, lol.

I still don't know the answer though because it was a few years ago I read that book and I'm not really sure what your question was.....

If you're asking about the man she loved, who died in the bombing I think, I can't remember.....sorry!!

That was a great book, lol, but I'm thinking about the one before that.......This kid bought an old car and it couldn't be destroyed. It would start by itself and it would kill the people who were being mean to Arny (I THINK that was his name, lol)......

Hmmmm I did not read the book that you are talking about (it does sound good).....the only car name that I could remember associated with Stephen King is Buick 8. lol

[Pal]

Well, to be fair, Buick 8 would count because I wasn't more specific.

The answer I was looking for was Christine.

Since you guessed Buick 8 and it WAS a killer car, you get to answer the next question, lol

[Pal]

************************************************** *********

QUOTING FROM POSTER: Irishrose395;1865705 (Post Number)

And what are they about?

************************************************** *********

Jane Eyre is about a young woman who goes to work as a governess in an old castle and falls in love with the owner. It is kind of scary....romantic...irritating....a great read.

And Wuthering Heights was a book about a man who was brought to live in a home after he was found by himself in the city. His name was Heathcliff and the woman who grew up with in the home was named Cathy. He fell in love with her, and she with him but things didn't end up the way they were supposed to. The ending is very sad but good. Another great read.

[Irishrose395]

Well once the ? of the author is answered I will look it up. lol.

[Irishrose395]

Bumping because of the freaking spam lol.

[Mandy]

Charlotte Bronte wrote Jane Eyre. Her sister, Emily, wrote Wuthering Heights.

I'm drawing a blank here on books that I've read recently, so I will ask another Harry Potter question.

Who turned out to be Harry Potter's true love?

[It's Meli]

Ginny Weasly??

*************************

[Mandy]

You are correct, Meli.........next question? lol

[Irishrose395]

Judy Blume question:

In the book Summer sister's What did Victoria's friend nick name? (Can't remeber the friends name) lol.

[Irishrose395]

Edit: Her friends name caitlin so what was the nickname caitlin gave victroia in summer sisters?

[Jules]

I knew all the answers up until this one...


Oh, Pal...

Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights have been two of my favorite books since High School.

[Mandy]

The first time I watched the movie, "Wuthering Heights", I totally fell in love with Laurence Olivier who portrayed Heathcliff.

He was so handsome in that. :)

[Pal]

Too bad you weren't here yesterday Jules! It's a good thing Mandy came, lol.


When Kathy asks Heathcliff to take her to the window so she can look out over the moors, I cry every time, I cry every time.....

Yes, I thought Heathcliff was pretty scrumptious myself :)

[Pal]

Did I mention I cry every time?? lol

[Mandy]

I know, that part of the movie is so sad, sometimes I just don't even want to watch it.

There are also times that I just want to smack the hell out of Cathy. I guess I shouldn't be harboring so much violence while watching a classic romance. lol

************************************************** *********

lol :) Believe me, you're not the only one who wants to slap Kathy up side the head, lol.

I used to watch it and think that Heathcliff had an anger issue........but I came to realize that it was just that Cathy was so enraging, poor Heathcliff wanted to bash her on a regular basis. Now, I can relate, lol

[Irishrose395]

I guess no one knows the answer then??
