meganbmooreSomewhat on a whim, I picked up a cheap Signet edition of Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass the other day. It was only "somewhat" on a whim because I've recently felt the need to reread things I read when I was younger (whether or not I'll actually get around to it is another thing), and I don't think I've read that in its entirety since I was roughly to target age. But more than that, I thought I should reread it before watching the loose adaptation airing in December.
"But Megan!" you say, "Burton's Alice in Wonderland doesn't come out until next March! Look, the trailer even says so!"
Well, yes. That's Tim Burton's movie and it looks quite spiffy and I'm looking forward to it. What I'm almost dying to see, though, is the SyFy mini-series, Alice, that's coming out in December:
I also noticed that the last book in Frank Beddor's Looking Glass Wars trilogy is out. I should get it. And, uhm, read the second book. (3 1/2 boxes of booksale books that I haven't added to the backlog yet? Whatever are you referring to?)
Hmm...I wonder if there's a particular reason for the recent surge in Alice in Wonderland inspired fiction. It seems there are a few other things I've seen recently that are also clearly inspired by it.
