And the part about the cashier? Don't you think she would be right there in the middle, flinging with us? ( I wanted to use fracas or melee, but the spell check doesn't work with totv on this computer, and I wasn't sure how they were spelled)

Carl. In person. Think about it.
(Where is the 'swoon' icon, Tony?)
Judy,

Oh I know. I am thinking about it. Oh my!

And if you go, I will be thrilled for you and I will try so hard not to be jealous and to accept my geographic fate and try to be happy with living vicariously.

But I do so hope that you will give us a full report, once you get out of jail, of course. In fact, because I started this whole thing, I am offering to post bail. But you have to let me know when you need it. You can just post the info right here. I think there is something in the law that says if you are arrested for inciting chaos in a bookstore, you are allowed to make one post on TOTV before they take away the laptop and lock you up.

Hi sandybill2,

I really like all of your possibilities to play Skink if there is ever a movie version. I keep coming back to your idea of Billy Bob Thornton. Skink has to come off as so crazy and yet so completely charming at the same time. The actor would have to be able to walk that line perfectly.

And it is nice to know that this thread helped you to get on the library list early and that you liked the book.

Hi Irish,

Mr. Boomer is sitting in his recliner at this very moment reading the third book in "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" trilogy. He has been knocking them out fast. In fact, today when he finished the second one, I asked him if he wanted me to bring him back "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" when I went to the store. He said yes and so I did. He has been reading it all evening, can't put it down, just like with the first two.

I hope you like "Star Island" when you get it.

And Mr. Tony,

So finish the book already.

Boomer
