Wow. This is all real telling.
But fear not, I won't tell.

"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" by J.K. Rowling (Anybody else heard of these books? They're pretty neat. They'd make great movies too!)

I just finished the gut-wrenching-no-easy-answers novel called MY SISTER'S KEEPER by Jodi Picoult. (Stunning writer.) When a family discovers that their 2 year old daughter has a horrid from of cancer that will need blood and other types of donations, they have doctors conceive for them another daughter that will be the perfect match. They love this new baby, of course. When the donor daughter turns 13 and is suppose to give her older sister a kidney, she sues her parents for medical emancipation of her own body. There are no easy answer here as the novel examines all points of view, and the ending is a surprise.
Hi Joan. Very strange synopsis. Sounds a bit like what that family of the guy STILL challenging poor Christine Gregoire, wil he never stop? What does most of the state think about all this? David

I read so much, it's hard to keep track...
just finished several graphic novels (Grant Morrison - collections of THE INVISIBLES and DOOM PATROL); THE CZECH NEW WAVE about the history of Czech film up to the early 70's; THIS IS BURNING MAN, about the Burning Man (aka Black Rock Arts Festival) in Nevada - I knew some of the people involved in the early 90's.
Just found a paperback copy of Steven Smith's Herrmann bio, A HEART AT FIRE'S CENTER - I snagged a hardback when it first came out, but I didn't know about the paperback edition... only new addition is the preface, but it's a good re-read.

I had completely forgotten all about 'The Heart at Fire's Center'! I remember thumbing through it when it first came out several years ago, but was put off a bit at it's price and never went back to it. Thanks for reminding me about it's issuance in PAPERBACK! How's the reading?

If I may leap in -- a superbly written, fascinating book worthy of repeated readings, IMO. Stop thumbing, start reading!

Well I've only gotten as far as his early attempts to raise money and write the screenplay.
Its a very interesting book (in spite of my neglect in keeping with it!). Lots of neat anecdotes as, in particular Boorman's recollection of his having lunch with Nicol Williamson while Richard Attenborough is at another table with investors, trying to get money for Ghandi.
I got it from amazon.com, and they still have used copies:

Thanks Paul, I'll look into it. I have an order in route from Amazon.com UK for a wonderful Penguin Classic Edition of James Baldwin's 'Giovanni's Room'. I can't explain it but for some reason, the covers to British Books are (usually) so much better designed and just more appealing than the same book in America!
