Not at all. But fraught, mistress, oh-so-fraught with peril. Though I'd be right there next to you in the theatre, peeking out from behind my fan. Insane? Not at all.

But somehow ... I'd love to see it. I must confess. If only to see the actor who plays Lafayette on True Blood play Pro Bono. Is that insane?

I also loved that line very much! Also, is it just me, or is this story crying out for a big screen adaptation?

Octavian changed me in ways I'm not sure I can describe. Besides the obvious- I talked like Bono for weeks after I put the book down. My very favorite line: "Sweet mercy in a firkin!" swore Bono. "Not another word of your damn metaphorizing! By God, don't you have vomiting to do?" I couldn’t agree more. Octavian changed me in ways I’m not sure I can describe.
