Good watch. Atwood talks too much, but that's not exactly new. She's not stupid, but she does miss the point on occasion, and I'd rather have heard a bit more from Doctorow and especially Amis (too bad there couldn't have been more discussion about cosmology and string theory), but it was nonetheless a good watch. About an hour and twenty minutes. Starts on politics and the perception of America's place in the world, but goes all over.
Loon Lake (http://www.librarything.com/work/book/76623885) (Doctorow) and Yellow Dog (http://www.librarything.com/work/book/85217594) (Amis) are on my list of near-future reads. Need to finish up High-Rise (http://www.librarything.com/work/book/85524902) (J. G. Ballard) and The Lovely Bones (http://www.librarything.com/work/book/85461433) (uh, that one chick whose name I always forget, the one who wrote The Almost Moon (http://www.librarything.com/work/3100201)... uh... Sebold) first, though. Enjoying both.
