I don't recall the "six words," but if you're going to write a book about a princess, why knock the reader for appreciating them? ;-)<br /><br />Tomorrow night we're seeing Lois Lowry speak (part of our annual literary festival, Get Lit). The second half is a one person performance of <i>The Giver</i>.<br /><br />--ArabellaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22927650.post-70125663851865963662012-04-11T21:57:38.182-07:002012-04-11T21:57:38.182-07:00While there's no way to be sure without readin...While there's no way to be sure without reading it, I think you'll like it, George.

Unfortunately there's a ton of social engineers & 'visionaries' who are working on that exact thing. <br /><br />But on to happier things. This sounds like a book I might enjoy reading.
