Lady T, good diagnosis on Natalie coming up for air. That whole romance with Anakin made no sense at all–big whiny baby that he was–and in those scenes with Obi it’s like we’re dealing with real people who make sense again.

And thanks for the well wishes on Oprah! She’s never picked a YA before, but maybe now that she has that girls’ school . . .

Well,I found out the next Oprah selection entirely by accident-I was roaming about the RH site(in connection with a book review)and found a big old banner proclaiming that Cormac McCarthy’s The Road is the newly appointed OBC selection!

Oprah’s bringing fiction back! Woo hoo! Maybe she’ll be inclined to pick a certain evolutionary novel for the summer…fingers crossed:)!

Oh and so with you on the Star Wars films-the original three are the best. I love Natalie Portman but I swear that in the last film,Hayden Christiansen was draining the life out of her. Whenever she did a scene with Ewan Mc Gregor(just the two of them),you could see her coming up for air,really!

Robin - Natalie Portman’s belly in attack of the clones. It’s not natural. I think they were CGI enhanced.

Herb, I had to put down HH when the upper corner featured a flip-it animation in book 7 or 8.

Heather - Not much. One math teacher asked me to stop sleeping in her class when the dept head yelled at her. She admitted it was easier to teach when I was sleeping, though.

Patrick, huh?

Herb, good job, as always. Another reading machine.

Heather, what a flattering thing for a writer to hear about his work. I’m sure Barry will be thrilled!

Patrick,

Did you get detention a lot when you were in school?

As for readig this week, I’m almost finished with Barry’s book. (Super fantastic, losing much sleep and word count.)

I finished “Pushing Ice” by Alastair Reynolds. I’ve start “Hell’s Gate” by David Weber and Linda Evens. More fantasy then I like but, what the heck broaden my horizon. I love David Weber’s Honor Harrington series.

Ooh, Robin, can we? And do you read What Adrienne Thinks About That? She does this great running series of exerpts from Queen Amidala’s diary, a la Bridget Jones:
