"I've even heard of you," Troy went on as if this argument would be
incontrovertible. "I've read -- your book was read to me. It made an
impression on me."

Well, if it could happen to the Lord of the Rings, what's to prevent a slimy
Hollywood mogul from trying to make a few fast bucks off of the Chronicles?
Personally I think it's a long shot, so I'm going to have some fun thinking up
actors and actresses who I think would be great in starring roles for the
First and Second Chronicles.
As always, if you want to get in on the act just
e-mail me your ideas.
Update 19 Nov 01: I'm color-coding
entries from folks other than myself in red so you
know what's mine and what's been contributed by visitors. Mahalo nui loa.
