Well, you've read the notes, the notes caught the bird, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they caught the worm and the tostada and are complacent.

Good morning, all! This morning iis the checkup for the tooth extraction I missed last Monday because I thought my appointment was an hour later than it was. So, I wil learn today whether or not things are healing well. After that, I hope to see Joshie and give him for proofed Victor Herbert pieces for corrections, Then I head back home to finish up the edits on the two different finales for THE LADY OF THE SLIPPER so I can give notes to the copyists.

I think that's my day.

TOD: Madame Bovary.

Good Morning, between coughing and the early morning storms I didn't get much sleep last night. I'll be surprised if the workers come here today, We have a flash flood warning and we're supposed to have rain and possible severe storms throughout the morning

Cillaliz · « **Reply #9 on:** July 19, 2010, 04:45:16 AM »

Of course today is one of the days that Edith decided we needed to have appointments back to back all day long. I fear this could be a long day.

Man! It's pouring rain out!

It's too early for the Today show and I've already had breakfast and given Cal her meds. This is just not right

Better get ready to go to work. I'll stop and get lots of coffee on the way...I'm going to need it

Monday morning greetings! I'm up way too early, too, DR Cillaliz - with a queasy stomach

And I think those thunderstorms are rolling our way...

TOD - Several authors come to mind: Isabelle Allende, Julia Alvarez, Laura Esquivel. If I have to pick a favorite book, I'll say LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE.

TOD: Too broad a topic, as I enjoy reading a host of writers regardless of national origin. A few titles that spring easily to mind: Anything by Tolstoy, especially "Anna Karenina," as well as Dostoevsky, including "The Idiot" and "Crime and Punishment" (yes, I have Russian blood). From France, Balzac's "Pere Goriot," anything by Marcel Pagnol, and "Les Miz." Pablo Neruda, Gunter Grass and Umberto Eco are a few others. From the world of non-fiction, there's Suetonious' "Twelve Caesars," a history book with plenty of National Enquirer thrown in for good measure.

Good Morning. Real thunderstorms with real rain sound so nice.

Ben · « **Reply #18 on:** July 19, 2010, 05:33:53 AM »

Yes, rain would be welcome. It's going to be a hot week here in New York with temperatures in the 90s predicted for the entire week!

While browsing the book store today two other books were suggested though they didn't interest me as much as Every Man. Has anyone read THE MAGICIANS or THE AMERICAN GIRL?

I haven't read either or these. But usually when someone posts a book here i go to amazon.com to check on it. Some of the comments on THE AMERICAN GIRL are rather interesting.

I also like to see the ratings. If a book has mostly 5s it's usually a good one.

DR Jane re: the night light story from yesterday.

No, that was the whole point. My brother-in-law did not put in the night light at all.

It is common for her to cry for 5-15 minutes when she gets put in her crib. And this was his first time putting her to bed.

Why not make up a new name to post under here for a while.

Has there ever been this much advance talk about replacements in a Broadway show, at leats in this century, as there has been about the NIGHT MUSIC replacement cast.

Bernadette peters just because she's apparently so great, and the Stritch thing has turned into a sporting event - if all turns out well, it'll be like the Matthew Broderick STARRY MESSENGER thing of course, all forgotten.

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #24 on:** July 19, 2010, 06:05:50 AM »

TOD:

Friedrich Durrenmatt
Gabriel Garcia Marquez

That's all that come to mind at the moment...

Jennifer - Well, it's really just about money, I'm sure. In this economy, having to be out of pocket maybe as long as unemployment extends is a lot to them.

re: the MILLENIUM movies being remade in the US.

I know movies are rarely as good as the books. But I still have hope. I would like the movies to made in the US. I want to see what they will do.

I just think that the books are so popular. And I don't think the foreign films will be seen by that many people here.

I would be very interested in seeing how BP and Stritch handle the roles. Not that I don't think they couldn't do it--it's just that they are both so distanced away from the type of actresses who normally do this show. Hoping for a good ootlegbay of this one.

I'm up, but we are not live because the web guy says he's having problems loading the new page. This is very annoying. Hopefully soon.

Which is both sad and ridiculous. These books have been worldwide best sellers way before the United States discovered them and from the sounds of BK's reviews, the Swedish films are probably already the definitive versions. It strikes me as the height of Hollywood vanity that a property is worthless until a major American studio cranks out its own star-laden can of beans.
