This is utterly fabulous. I've added The Toilers of the Sea and Phantom of the Opera to my to-read list. I really hope to be reading more of your reviews.
I liked the first book of the Assassin cycle very much, and I think I avoided the others because they involve animals and I just don't read books with animals in them. Ever. It's definitely more adventure than fantasy, though, and the first one at least, is worth the read.
Fan fiction's a whole other ballgame.
I can see both sides of the debate, but I don't really see a clear solution to it. While I think authors (and artists in general) have a right to preserve their vision of their work, I've read some damn fine fanfic that is art in and of itself.
I think I'm on book five or six of this series, and all of them have definitely been worth it. They're great, great reads.

Favorite album?
I highly recommend The Big Four by Agatha Christie.
This list is utterly fabulous. I really hope you keep going through next year.
And I hear you on Mr Ripley. I cannot believe he could be other than Jude Law at this point.
Amazingly I have not yet seen it. I'll have to remember to Netflix it, right after I return *cough*SGA*cough*.
Okay, you totally rule on that score alone.
I am now dying with curiosity.

It takes work to avoid those animals, I tell ya.
Let me know how you like the first assassin book.
The worlds of Death at Sea and slasher flicks often overlap, though. They seem almost intentionally non-random.
Holy smokes your taste in movies is eclectic, but that's definitely not a bad thing. You couldn't have deliberately planned more randomness. Awesome.
Did you see Super Bad twice on the big screen?
