JOHNNY DEPP ZONE

Thanks for pointing out Chuck Bowen's review, Ruby Begonia. Geez, now I want an opportunity to see the movie! And I think he is entirely right about this being Johnny's "'mid-period Brando' phase." If only something like "Last Tango in Paris" was coming down the pike ...

I've had a chance to read Devotion. It begins in M-Train cultural territory, but then veers into a novella that I found tedious and trite. I can't really recommend it, except to say it's a fast read!

I've just put Patti's book on hold at the library. When I've read it I'll report back!

Oh, that sounds intriguing.
