Old Money--a play (I believe her latest) by Wendy Wasserstein.

It's still pouring in Dallas, Insomniak--what's it doing in Ohio today?

Just began Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister and Don Quixote. And yes, as soon as I get back to the city, I'm going to buy Gone With the Wind.

Oh, Emcee, get said for a MARVELOUS read with GWTW!

EVERY 1,037 pages is spine-tingling...

nia, didn't I tell you there are no bookstores in my town? Or the ones surrounding me, for that matter? It's pathetic.

Hey redhot,

Do you remember when Fannie Flagg was an actress? I'm pretty sure she was on the NEW Dick Van Dyke Show...

Edited in:

Yep, I was correct. Per the IMBD, she played Van Dyke's sister on the show from 1971-1973.

So drive somewhere... I promise you, GWTW is worth a bit of time in the car. You'll love it.

I'm going to attempt Le Miz...

I need to try that one, too insomniak. And I'm serious. I'd have to drive about 45 minutes to find a bookstore. I also don't have a car...

No, ckeaton.

Mary-Ethel, I basically remember Fannie Flagg from The Match Game...she was hilarious. Now I want to get ahold of her early comedy recordings.
