Wasn't that Han Solo too?  -- smell --

What an incredible smell you've discovered.

Next...

Feel, don't think.  Use your pants.

So,

#1 - Curious where the fact came from

#2 - Curious if rate of twin births increase for a twin and a single.  Or is it just for twin + twin?

Might fast-forward this idea so that not just one family, but entire society is like this.  Single birthed babies are outcasts.  Twins are praised as more intelligent, better looking, upstanding citizens, etc.  Sibling rivalries just took on a new meaning.  :)

I just gave up on my most recent book (Deadhouse Gates).  So, I won't have any reviews for a little bit yet.

Now that's cool, Pink.  When did he win?  Has it already been published?  Name?  Story title?

Gave up on the Malazan.  Too much and definitely not enough.  So, I picked up "to say NOTHING of the DOG" by Connie Willis.  Heard it was a good time travel story.

Drive through persona:  (laughs) So your front window doesn't work?
Me:  Yeah, it does.  I just like leaning my seat back to collect food through the rear window...

Thought it was rather good.  Didn't get all that confused at the different twists.  I do think that they chopped the Calypso thing way short though.  I kept expecting more finality to that whole storyline.  As far as the movies go, I think that I liked the first as a stand alone, and the next two as a set.  Didn't really care for where the story went after the first, but as two separate entities, I have to say that I liked both.  Ah, and this third one was definitely action packed.  Crazy.

Actually going to start drafting my new short story for submission this quarter (ends June 30th) in the next few days or so.  Anyone else have one going in this quarter?

Okay so two things.

One:  How do I find out if a review has already been done on a particular book?  I found the "Book" section on the main page, but I'd have to click through every page of reviews to find a particular book that way.  Is there a listing of reviewed books somewhere?  Maybe sorted alphabetically by author or title?  I mean, I'll probably write a review for a book that has been previously reviewed on TWG anyhow so that I can put it on my chainreading page, but it would make things easier to have accessibility like this anyhow.

Two:  I have my review for The Name of the Wind done, but I've tried to submit the article twice (yes I checked to make sure that I was logged in first) and each time it says

     Article error, article not saved.

Don't know what I'm doing wrong...
Thanks.

Ah, had another question.  Do you only take one review for a book?  For example, I'm in the middle of Stranger in a Strange Land right now, and the book is pretty old and popular.  So, I'm thinking that there might already be a review for it somewhere.  If there is, can I still review it?  Thanks.

Yeah.  I've already read the clock scoring guidelines.  Good setup, I think.  Just finished the book last night.  Oh boy. :)  Do my best to get a review written by the end of the day tomorrow.  Thanks for the info.
