#1 Mama said if I didn't have anything nice to say, I shouldn't say anything at all.

So I'll shut up.

Buh-bye, you worthless useful idiot.

#4 Yeah, my mom said the same thing.

Pinter and Eartha Kitt on the same day, though. Frankly, I think the loss of Ms Kitt will be much more felt...

#5 Enjoying 'The Sowing' Celia. Sent a copy to an Austin fellow currently in Iraq and an old colleague in Arlington, VA. No reports from them yet.

#6 ...Definitely missing Miss Eartha already. Occasionally disagreed with her politics, but man, that voice....

#7 Antonia Fraser was married to that worthless shit of a human being? Some of her books were worth reading...

#8 Thanks, Besoeker! The more people know about the Trilogy, the better! A friend who reviewed it said that it might do for the Hill Country what "Gone With the Wind" did for the Old South.

There's hardly anything out in fiction about the Civil War in Texas - and that's pretty much what "The Sowing" is about. Just as a side note, the villain of the book, J.P. Waldrip was eventually buried in an unmarked grave on private property in Fredericksburg! When I was there last week for a signing, a local historian took me to see the approximate place where they planted him, after being gunned down on a public street by an unknown assailant. Ostensibly, it was to prevent the grave being desecrated...

Say... where are they going to plant this Pinter chap? Will his marker be large... ostentatious? Easy to find?
