It's nice that they portray Castle as an actual writer who gets upset at actual writer-ly things. <br /><br />Michele, I had no idea there was a fictionalized version of Anning's life story> I'll definitely check it out. I read a bit about her in a Bill Bryson book, and she sounds fascinating.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03732174528471795168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863570.post-31931140697502029192009-10-22T11:18:54.054-05:002009-10-22T11:18:54.054-05:00Talking of Mary Anning, have you read Chevalier...Talking of Mary Anning, have you read Chevalier's 'Remarkable Creatures' - a fiction account of her life. I thoroughly enjoyed the novel (and got hooked on Chevalier in the process).Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888298679182871669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863570.post-64315178496039043192009-10-22T10:38:41.032-05:002009-10-22T10:38:41.032-05:00Okay, for the record, Castle is quickly becoming o...Okay, for the record, Castle is quickly becoming one of my favorite show, if only for the conversation Castle and Beckett had about irony in Monday's episode.<br /><br />Castle: "Thank you."<br />Beckett: "For what?"<br />Castle: "For using 'irony' correctly. Ever since that Alanis Morissette song, people use it when they actually mean 'coincidence.' Drives me nuts."<br />Beckett: "Yeah, well, it must be your great grammatical influence over me."<br /><br />Brilliant...and it exonerates me for every time I've ever corrected someone's use of the word "irony."Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09939684379687736140noreply@blogger.com
