Just saw IRON MAN last week. Flat out loved it! The week before it was FORBIDDEN KINGDOM. My kind of chop saki. I loved the fight scenes with Jet Li and Jackie Chan. You can have your Dancing with the Stars. I like it when the dancers see stars!

Oops, I dunno. Just didn't put it in when I signed up. Which is silly of course because if you go to my website, which I hope you'll do, it's right there. Hell, it's in the address. <a href="http://www.susanfleet.com">www.susanfleet.com</a><br />

So, go figure! My bad?

I've read all his novels. Of course, some are better than others. But this last one, Freedomland and Clockers are my favorites. I like his early books, too.<br />

Why don't you use your last name?

Thanks for the correction. Julienne Moore, fab actress in many movies. Richard Price is an amazing author. If you've already read Lush Life you beat me to it! Have you read Clockers? I always meant to, but ... So much to do ... so little time.

Sorry you caught the flu! I've become a germaphobe at work, watching everything I touch and frequently using hand sanitizer and washing my hands. I realized that the coffee machine dispenser switch was a big potential germ source and use a papertowel to touch it now. But I escaped the nasty, two-week cold going around at work and the stomach flu. Some benefit to being a germaphobe. Hope you're well now. (And I just watched "Becoming Jane", chick flick" on DVD. I enjoyed it immensely but I think…

Didn't see the movie, but the book is very good. Seemed it was too long and complicated to be movie material. The book was pretty clearly based on the woman in South Carolina (I think) who claimed she was carjacked by a black man and her kids were in the car. Price moved the action to a housing project in New Jersey but kept the racial tension and a lot of other issues.<br />

Just watched a video of The Public Eye, a period piece set in 1940's New York, and one of the best crime movies of the 90's, but underrated. It stars Joe Pesci as the hero. You heard that right...Joe's the good guy in this one. And what a performance.

Richard Price was on Charlie Rose Show last night (Price writes for TV series The Wire) talking about his latest book, Lush Life. I can't wait to read it. But here's the thing. Did anyone see Freedomland, the movie based on Price's earlier book? It starred Samuel L. Jackson and Juliette Margulies (... am I getting that right? or it was Julieanne Moore? in any case she was terrific), and Edie Falco in a small off-beat role.<br />

<br />
Story line: white woman works at inner city school, her child goes missing, black man is accused of the crime. Jackson plays the cop. I thought it was terrific, but it pretty much sank like a stone at the boxoffice.<br />
