I'd previously read an excerpted chapter in Bennet Cerf's Houseful of Laughter and been completely confused by the character Faintly Macabre. I wasn't familiar with the word "macabre" and pronounced it MAK-uh-bray. I'd also seen the movie when I was in fifth grade and absolutely loved it. Watched it again as an adult and could barely sit through it--no wonder my mother had fallen asleep in the movie theater. I guess I won't try to re-read the book.<BR/><BR/>The Phantom Tollbooth is also the only book Adam Carola has ever read.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>Eric ShanowerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
