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 (Doctorow) and
Yellow Dog (Amis) are on my list of near-future reads. Need to finish up
High-Rise (J. G. Ballard) and
The Lovely Bones (uh, that one chick whose name I always forget, the one who wrote
The Almost Moon... uh... Sebold) first, though. Enjoying both.
