Being able to understand a language while not actively speaking it is so fascinating. I've seen that quite often on my in-laws side of the family (french-acadien) and I grasp spoken french pretty well but only speak the bare minimum myself.

I never expected we'd spend so much time talking about film, but these things tend to take on a life all their own. Just to clear up any confusion, my latest book is called Shadow and Light, and you can find it pretty much anywhere. It's the sequel to Rosa, which came out in 2005. Hope the panel sparked some interest, and hope you enjoy the new one if you're feeling in a noir mood. More than that, though, thanks for making it clear just how much books matter, and for really taking an active part in that. I'm new to blogs and twitter, but it's amazing to see the impact they have in getting people to engage. And there's nothing better than that. First off, I have to say thanks for coming to the panel.

All of the men on each of the panels I attended were funny. Now.. to find his book. I didn’t mind the film references because for once, I actually knew what they were talking about :)

Even if it seemed to veer off topic, I love Lisa See and (thanks for the shout outs!) Vanina Marsot. Stop the cinema is something I still think about a lot.<br /><br />You've got me on the edge of my seat waiting for tomorrow's recap. Thanks so much for doing this. It's just a tiny bit like being there for the rest of us folks. :) I am so jealous that you were able to go to this panel.
