Re: I am suspicious of this "previous occupation" business. RomaVenkat Send a noteboard - 06/09/2011 10:31:41 PM
I.e., I'm even more behind the times than you and haven't even heard of any of the authors other than Barnes, nevermind their books. :P

I feel you are missing the best part of the article, though: the chairwoman of the jury is a former Director-General of MI5. That has to be one of the most original occupations for a jury chairman or woman... a spy? Totally awesome.


Like, Excuse me, you now read books. Nothing else is of any importance whatsoever. Even if it was evilly cool.

Re: Okay, yes, and he courted her intelligently so that is dumb of her to forget. RomaVenkat - 06/09/2011 10:54:16 PM 532 Views

Maybe she is meant to be French? And that's why she doesn't get her hubby's two English extremes? *NM* RomaVenkat - 06/09/2011 11:00:20 PM 145 Views
Quite possibly. Damned foreigners. *NM* Camilla - 06/09/2011 11:01:36 PM 170 Views
The punny one sounds vaguely amusing... or at least the title does. Legolas - 06/09/2011 10:28:50 PM 505 Views
Oh, apparently she's a spy turned spy novel author... guess that makes more sense. *NM* Legolas - 06/09/2011 10:30:08 PM 175 Views

Sounds like you'd even read a Goodkind book first Larry - 06/09/2011 10:58:50 PM 444 Views
Re: That is weird. It has got good reviews, you'd think they'd pass it over the ocean ASAP. *NM* RomaVenkat - 06/09/2011 11:01:00 PM 182 Views
Nope. Nada. Larry - 06/09/2011 11:02:22 PM 497 Views
