Talk:Book:Nation

Nation was picked as the first choice in children's books for Christmas in yesterday's Toronto Star. --Old Dickens 22:55, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Constant Readers may have noticed that I'm on a Nation kick. What boggles the mind is the apparent unpopularity of this book here or in general. Isn't this a better book, on the grand scale, than Making Money? Is it not the hottest prospect in the whole catalog for a movie deal? (Yes, the cigar-waver who wanted to "lose the Death angle" would say that the two-kids-on-the-desert-island has been done, but it's not the same.) Can anyone suggest what this book lacks, or has too much of, to be so neglected?

I do allow that it's a book for very bright children only; the Author's Note suggests that thinking about it may be necessary. It's probably even harder than Tiffany's darker moments. --Old Dickens 02:50, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

I ,for one , really enjoyed Nation. However I've only read it three times so far, unlike Pyramids, Wyrd Sisters and Intresting Times which are well into double digits. It's simpler to write quality material on stuff you know well.

But, as has been pointed out, Nation seems underrepresented at this L-space wiki. I'll make an effort to contribute material (all camels and all opera has been covered so I should have time). Iron Hippo 22:59, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

First order of buisniess. 1: Learn to spell. B: Bring my copy of Nation to my mindnumbingly boorring shift as signalman at Almunge tomorrow. 3. Re-read it, 4:Make some sense Iron Hippo 21:33, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

synopsis

Are we going to write synopsis' for these books? --ArchchancellorJoe 16:18, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

We haven't before and I hope not and there's a fine for greengrocers' apostrophes (no apostrophe). --Old Dickens 17:35, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
