I thought the parts where she's starting to do more housework and worrying that she's turning into one of them were funny. I'm pretty sure everybody knows the basic story by now but when the book was new I guess the readers were wondering too.


Hm, yeah...I don't know why I did that. Well the author said reading order isn't important with the Hannish books.

At once a masterpiece of psychological suspense and a savage commentary on a media-driven society that values the pursuit of youth and beauty at all costs, The Stepford Wives is a novel so frightening in its final implications that the title itself has earned a place in the American lexicon.

His eyes were not the eyes of a human.
The forest people took him in and raised him almost as a child, teaching him to speak, training him in forest lore, giving him all the knowledge they had. But they could not solve the riddle of his past, and at last he had to set out on a perilous quest to Es Toch, the City of the Shining, the Liars of Earth, the Enemy of Mankind.
There he would find his true self ... and a universe of danger.

And yeah, The Earthsea Cycle is great. I notice the first trilogy are all over fifty years old. I wouldn't mind rereading next year if people are interested.

Congratulations. The Brothers Karamazov is definitely worth it.

It's on youtube. "Red Planet [1994] | TV Miniseries"

Bill finally talked his way aboard the colony ship Mayflower -- and discovered his father was right!
