This morning I finished The Shack...parts were sad. This evening DH and I watched Troy...sad ending. Then tonight at bedtime I read the last chapter of Peter and the Starcatchers to my younger girls...another "sad to me" ending. I'm feeling a bit melancholy. I guess I'm suffering from fiction let down (if there is such a thing).
Edited to add: I really liked Peter and the Starcatchers. It was a fun read aloud!

Sometimes Eldon gets into a book he likes so much that it's a letdown to end it!
When Jewel was in H.S. she was supposed to read Crime & Punishment. She put it off and put it off until the test was at the doorstep and so I drove to the nearest video store that had it which was about 15 miles away. Then my VTers came and Jewel would also come in when they came - one of them was a character and also very well read, and I expressed my guilt at cheating with the video and she said, "Oh that was an excellent choice ... you read much Dostoevsky and you'll want to end it all."
Sad endings, huh? You still have to read my book, teacher (when I have one for you to read).
I liked P & the SC too. No obvious sarcasm in it, which is probably a first ("I'm not making this up") for Dave Barry
