Thorn Birds

Last week - ten days ago, I mean - I was flipping channels, because I'm always impatient when watching TV (especially extras-filled American Idol episodes). So I was pleased to find The Thorn Birds miniseries on. I hadn't seen it, or read the book, for years, but I remembered more than I would have thought. For example, a fire started, and I told my SO, "ok, when we come back in a few minutes, someone will be crying" (I couldn't remember who, or who died in the fire). And I was right. So I checked out the book and I've been re-reading it. It's better than I feared it would be - I think the last McCullough I read was The Ladies of Missalonghi, which seemed like (and is) a lame re-write of LMM's Blue Castle.
I've also fallen back into Bujold again - I just re-read Memory and Komarr.
At work, the Summer Reading Programs have started - incentive programs for kids to read over the summer. They're a lot of work, which explains why I can't think of anything else to write. Sorry!
