When I worked at camp that one summer, my buddy on staff would read The Little Prince to his campers. It always made me feel really emotional for some reason.

I recently learned that

is a disputed Antoine de Saint Exupéry quote. For some reason I thought it was from The Little Prince. I love that line.

My mom insisted that I see it with her because she remembers how much I loved it. That was kind of sweet.

haha!  your mom loves you.

Oh man, I loved that. Some pretty heavy shit too.

I know I keep telling the same stories around here but I don't know if this is one of them.

When I was 8, maybe, I bought my mom a copy of The Velveteen Rabbit from the Scholastic book deal that they had at our elementary school (do they still do those?). My mom kept that book all her life - she had it in her bedside table. When she was on her deathbed and unable to communicate, we each got some time alone with her to say our goodbyes and such. When it was our turn, my wife read that book to her. That was sort of heavy for me.

Yes.  My daughter is a book junkie.

I had never heard of that dude until Where the Wild Things Are came out a year or two ago. In fact I didn't even know what this thread was about based on the title.

I did see Where the Wild things Are in the theater. I was mildly amused by it. Seems like we went to a midnight viewing of it on the night it came out for some reason. I think I was with someone who was a big fan, but I can't remember.
