I just got Michael Crichton's posthumously published novel Pirate Latitudes and I'm going into seclusion with it.

American Tea Party the new face of the KKK.
Pretty drastic comparison .... Americans have the right to voice their opinions and that is what they are doing .... it is what a democracy should do when there is a difference of attitude and opinion on something that will affect their lives.
I agree, the comparison is not fair. I do not doubt that some of Obama's harshest critics are racist. But there are many people who simply strongly disagree with him.

Just finished reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Court: The J.K. Rowling Copyright Case and the Question of Fair Use by Robert S. Want. The book examines the Harry Potter Lexicon trial and contains legal documents from the case, a transcript of J.K. Rowling's testimony, and the judge's decision. Essential reading for writers who need to be familiar with the current legal precedent concerning fair use.

I finished the entire Brother Cadfael series. Brilliant! After seeing the Half-Blood Prince film, I am now re-reading the entire Harry Potter series. I seem to discover something new every time I read the novels. Currently, I'm right in the middle of Order of the Phoenix, which was my favorite of the novels until I read Deathly Hallows.

I am now reading Dead Man's Ransom a Brother Cadfael mystery by Ellis Peters. The series is a joy! There are 20 books in all and I have four more that I haven't read yet.

Am looking for Fearless 14 by Janet Evanovich in softcover.
At the bookstore we're waiting for the 15th book to come out on Tuesday. I have the first three books in the series but I haven't read them yet.
