I'm Karen Ahlstrom -- some of you may remeber me way back when I was Karen Stay.  I was Fiction director at the Edge for a while.  I married Peter Ahlstrom (Ookla the Mok) on Mar 25, 2005, and I've been dictating the occasional post through him.  So we though I ought to get an identity of my own.

My own special hobbies include Hedgehogs, Costuming, and Lemony Snicket.  I work for an Insurance Brokerage in Newport Beach, CA designing databases.

I really liked The Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.

It was amazing how emotionally caught up in it I was.  The horrors of the reign of terror were more real than I've ever thought of them before -- I mean, you don't really get the same impression from the Scaret Pimpernel.  

And the ending -- I predicted what was going to happen from the first moment the twin characters were introduced, but when it came, even though I was expecting it, it brought tears to my eyes, and a feeling like there is some good in the world after all.

I'd highly recommend it.

My favorite bit is where they sing "With Cat Like Tread" and sneak onstage singing at the top of their lungs.
