It's rather unfortunate. But to think that Ghibli movie was actually based on her book....

She was one of my favourite children's authors. I've read almost all of her books. I heard about her stopping her chemotherapy, so I was expecting this for a while. It's very sad to hear that she's passed on. A brilliant writer and an inspiration.
Rest in peace.

...I feel like rereading her books now. Especially Howl's moving castle, Hexwood and Chrestomanci.

We have a Doctor Who thread now. Doctor Who threads are cool.

I thought this was gonna be about Hayao Miyazaki. Incidentally, someone today mentioned this movie in a completely unrelated discussion.

Wiki is really the only source you have on this?

Never read the book. Never liked the movie.

I don't like most of Ghibli's stuff. Good budget, but preachy and boring as fuck.

Also the anime is one of my favorites. I have sensory memories attached to it. Part of a fun night where they showed it at a theater in Denver.

Sorry if the link was a wiki, it was hard to find any articles at the time because it was too recent.

Do it now, also treat yourself to a mohito before hand. It is not necessary, but it does make the movie more awesome.

So no more similar movies? What a shame, the movie was extremely good.

Spirited Away has a similar feel to me, and is also awesome. Miyazaki is still alive, he only looks dead. The book author is the one that died.

No! She's one of my favorite authors! Damnit, now I'm so depressed! She was working on the sequel to House of Many Ways too, if I'm not mistaken.

I admit, I've only seen the movie, but I know that she was a brilliant author and I've been trying to rent the series in the library forever now. May she rest in peace.



along with all the other recomendations, I would add Kiki's Delivering Service.

I'd let you guys go If it was...this feels like a necro, yet it isn't.

You get a free kitty avatar pass on a possible necro. Although after this post and maybe one more this topic will just fall away.

I still remember this still being on the first page.

So are we letting people go If a possibly old thread that's like 10 days old is still on the front page?
