I have all the e-mails, and I started on the HTML version of the summary, but I never got around to finish it. I can send you the material if you like. Or you can wait till the whole thing goes on-line (but that may be a while). While we are on the topic: we also started analysing _Glory Season_ but never finished that. JDG has promised us his analysis of the next chapter a few times but never delivered. Anyone else want to take a shot at it? >In the same vein was The Postman ever discussed? No. Only _The Practice Effect_ and part of _Glory Season_. >Does the movie go away from the book so much that it was bad, was it >Costner's fault, or is the movie actually good, you just need to know >what's going on? Before his website (www.davidbrin.com) got a major overhaul (thankfully now with a background colour that does *not* require sunglasses), there was a paragraph on the site where David Brin called it "a movie loosely based on my novel The Postman". He has posted his comments (some good, some bad) at http://www.davidbrin.com/postmanmoviearticle.html. IMO, the movie is not really that bad, as long as you do not expect it to be just the movie version of the book (because then you are in for a disappointment). >List related? Yes. How dare you post something on-topic here! <grin> Jeroen _________________________________________________________________________ Wonderful World of Brin-L Website: http://www.Brin-L.com Tom's Photo Gallery: http://tom.vanbaardwijk.com
