Wish I was a Carny

I ADORE stories of the old time circuses. I hope to read Water For Elephants before I see the movie. I think I have mentioned Dean Koontz's book Twilight Eyes (1985 baby!!)as being one of my favorites. It's based around a traveling circus too...Remember the Bones episode where Booth & Brennan join the circus?

Have you ever seen Carnivale? It was a great cancelled-before-it's-time series on HBO about a traveling circus during The Great Depression.

I loved it! Circus fiction is so fun!

Oh another great circus movie - Mirrormask. It's one of my all-time favorite books turned in to what has become one of my all-time favorite movies.

PBS also did a documentary called Circus that is pretty great. It's on Netflix Instant Watch.
