Brittney responded to some comments we made on her "The Other Boleyn Girl" review. I just noticed it, and I thought I would pass that info on to you in case you wanted to respond. She posted the response as a new comment, so I never received a notification about it: http://www.lunch.com/reviews/book/UserReview...337-24623-Amazing_.html

Here's a Robert J. Sawyer poll for ya! http://lunch.com/t/3jma It's also featured on The Forbidden Planet! As moderator you could make a general message to the community and suggest books & authors to read in the science fiction vein. Just go to The Forbidden Planet page and over to the right on the toolbar should be "Manage" in the drop down list. Need help with that, let me know.
