this is a remarkably beautiful book.
in fact this shares the top spot for le petit prince. those that never did read this book i highly recommend it cos a lot of people i've introduced this book loved it as much as i did. "The difference between a person and an Angel is easy. Most of a person is on the outside and most of an Angel is on the inside. " - Anna From the book "Mr. God, This Is Anna" by Fynn |

some quotes from the book.
Mum reckoned that getting lost and finding your way were just different sides of the same coin. You couldn’t have one without the other. ~ Fynn, Mister God, This Is Anna "Fynn, do you know that lived backward is devil?" ~ anna “God might have made a big mirror, Perhaps we’re on the other side, Perhaps we’re the wrong way around. Yeah that’s why we get it all wrong.” ~anna “Mister God can know things and people from the inside too. We only know them from the outside, don’t we?” ~anna |

The title reminds me of that book "Dear God, it's me, Margaret" about that girl who was worried cause she wasnt getting her period when her friends did...i was always confused as to why she was excited to finally get her period...its not fun...no matter how much you try to call it a "miracle of life" or "when a little girl becomes a woman"... |

HAHA that's the first thing I thought about too...my aunt gave me that book to read when I was younger and I really didn't like it. Margaret was dumb to want that so much. But this book sounds great... There are too many books I want to read : ( |

"...After the evening meal was finished and all the bits and pieces put away, Anna and I would settle down to some activity, generally of her choosing. Fairy stories were dismissed as mere pretend stories; living was real and living was interesting, and by and large, fun. Reading the Bible wasn't a great success. She tended to regard it as a primer, strictly for the infants... Religion was for doing things, not for reading about doing things. Once you had got the message there wasn't much point in going over and over the same old ground. Our local parson was taken aback when he asked her about God. The conversation went as follows: "Do you believe in God?" "Yes." "Do you know what God is?" "Yes." "What is God then?" "He's God!" "Do you go to church?" "No." "Why not?" "Because I know it all!" "What do you know?" "I now to love Mister God and to love people and cats and dogs and spiders and flowers and trees" and the catalog went on "with all of me." Anna had bypassed all the nonessentials and distilled centuries of learning into one sentence: "And God said love me, love them, and love it, and don't forget to love yourself." " |

Yea, i read it when i was probably ten, and everything related to sex/the reproductive system was 'icky' so i didnt really like it...plus they use those belts instead of just pad or tampons in the book cause its so old, i wondered whether i'd have to do that... > >But this book sounds great... >There are too many books I want to read : ( same here, there are more every day... |

the judy blume version of God, it's me margaret (or was it paula danzinger?) is totally different from this one. but it was funny, esp the part when she locks herself in the room and goes, "i must! i must! i must increase my bust!"
Anna is a wonderful book to read and there's so much to learn from it, it's amazing! |
