Kazou Ishiguro is, i think the best author working today. My favorite novel is The Remains of the Day. The movie was a bit too much "Merchant/Ivory" we're British people in fine mansions stuffy.

But the novel was really all located in the mind of the butler. It was all seen through his eyes and based upon his slanted view of the world as an obsessive servant. It was just like getting into someone else's brain who was in a very different mindset than I've ever been. Of course much of this couldn't translate to film.

Like the scene where his dad is upstairs dying, he's all torn up in the book for pages because he can see a spot on a fork set for this important dinner party and he can't sort out how to remove the fork without letting everyone know it was set down dirty.

anyway his last novel was pretty bizarre, fun but no RotD.

New novel just came out- Never Let Me Go. Is about schoolmates growing up who are clones raised for organ donation. Not at all Sci Fi, just a normal story set in England, except the main charecters are these clones. It has the same "mind setting" of RotD. It is realy really good.

Oh, I'll second that. Loved it - beautiful. I'm reading The Unconsoled right now - don't love it as much as NLMG, but still good. He's got a patience in his writing. I actually preferred RotD onscreen, though, and I never say that.

Is anybody watching this show? I was just sent a link letting me know a former lawschool classmate is on it (I feel very Str8). If everybody on the show is a big an ass as he is, it could be entertaining.

Actually, no. We both grew up in Lake Forest, which is one of those rich-folk enclaves where all the children are raised to believe that they will inherit the earth and laugh at the meek.

I blame the Republicans. It was something they put in the claret at our parties.

Watcha got to say to that, RT?

I have it on Tivo, but I caught a few minutes of it surfing last week. It looked like moot court in law school - 3 people arguing about what the absolute best argument was and who was best to present it.

The rub is that you get cash (Hi Sebby!) and not a job out of the deal. So is your guy the PI guy?

I like the cut of Employee #2's jib

from http://www.overheardintheoffice.com/

Employee #1: He made a big deal about some tiny mistakes I made in this one budget.

Employee #2: We sure as fuck don't get paid enough to do no perfect work up in this bitch.

Did you mean "petty", or are you calling another man pretty?

Hey, me too! No wait. It was not "once." It was about 72,000 times. JESUS MOTHER-FUCKING PUSSY-LICKING TESTICLE-PINCHING CHRIST. You pull out that lame old trite piece of shit and present it to us like it is some sage piece of wisdom? I am picturing you as a crotechedy old fuck, lecturing some summer associate who is staring politely at you and wishing you would get the fuck out of his office. "A wise man once said that obtaining partnership is like winning a pie eating contest where the prize is more pie! Heh heh. Oh, and another thing. This rock and roll you kids listen to? It never sounds good with horns . . . ."
