I'm starting to get into "Friday Night Lights" too. It's pretty good. There's a big stack of "Dexter" and "Battlestar Galactica" in my house for later use.

It's still BBC Wales, right? Still the same show title... so what gives?<BR/><BR/>Special Topics was good. It kept me guessing what might come next. But I felt the ending situation with the father was kind of an easy out. I just don't buy that a father who had been so very much involved in his daughter would really just skip out without a word or a trace. Even if he was embarrassed by his past and who he really is. It's her book and not mine though so it's okay that I'm not completely satisfied. I'm looking forward to her next book if she ever writes one.HeHahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07553677926081633890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33758604.post-29969231714164302952008-06-10T22:39:00.000-07:002008-06-10T22:39:00.000-07:00HeHa,See, I've heard such good things about it, an...HeHa,<BR/><BR/>See, I've heard such good things about it, and plenty of people have told me I'd like it. One of these days. <BR/><BR/>I finished <I>Special Topics</I> over the weekend and am having a hard time summing up how I felt about it. I actually really liked it--her prose is super-precocious in a way that is potentially hateable in someone so young (like, why have <I>I</I> not published <I>my</I> excellent mystery/coming-of-age novel?), but I found the story really compelling, especially towards the end. And I guess I might have issues with the things we end up knowing and not knowing, but I still thought it was pretty brilliantly put together. I don't know--I've been trying to write a review of it, and totally failing.<BR/><BR/>Did you like it?Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03885718073330722181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33758604.post-66696029386405512012008-06-09T19:12:00.000-07:002008-06-09T19:12:00.000-07:00Kennedy, Dr. Who and C.

My boss and I both read it last year. It got me reading the suggested reading list from the chapter titles. I was surprised by how many of them I hadn't gotten around to before.HeHahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07553677926081633890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33758604.post-38660068164408166252008-06-06T05:26:00.000-07:002008-06-06T05:26:00.000-07:00Of course you need to watch Dr Who!Any show that h...Of course you need to watch Dr Who!<BR/>Any show that has been around since 1963 (it premired the day Kennedy was assassinated)HAS to be watched. Okay so it was off the air for a few year here and there but STILL...<BR/><BR/>Of course (this is the father in me talking) you could see if some guy friend wanted to go out an do something instead of watching TV! :-)Xerxeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02444983293413620264noreply@blogger.com
