Titles, Novels, and Plays

Thanks for the props on the new title, Laura and Tina! I'm afraid 400,000 other bloggers already thought of it, too, but I'm not going to google it and find out. I'll pretend, instead, that I'm alone in my homage to Virginia Woolf.

My fellow book groupers were a little more critical of The Night Watch than I was and raised some interesting points about which characters needed more development and how the memento-like structure creates an expectation of some great pay-off and makes it easier for readers to forgive inconsistencies. I still loved it, though, and stick with my recommendation. :)

Tonight I see Coram Boy, a play about two orphans growing up in 18th-century England.
