So, I *finally* got my girlfriend to read the damn books, and I talked to her last night, and she mentioned that at one point she wanted to reach into the books and smack the author upside the head, in response for the "She could turn you into a newt"/"I'd get better" line... heheheheeheheheh She also thinks Sethra is a "bit of a contradiction, isn't she?" Anyway, I told her that there are gems to be found like that throughout the books, and I think I'll take her to Mam's site, so.... I just thought Steve would appreciate the reaction of needing to slap someone for those lines. Jon
