For-Lorne.

And now Lorne has thrown yet another wrench in the works, because he insists on telling Sheppard. Gee, thanks, Lorne. I now no longer have a Sheppard caught off guard, but one that's on the offensive, and pretty pissed at Weir.

Oh. Also, Lorne refused to say one of his better lines because he protects people within his command. Jeeze. Give this man a ship to comman-- oh. Right.

I may take a break from this story to watch Cube.



ETA: I actually I found Cube uplifting. This probably says Very Bad Things about my view of humanity.

I remember that I kept meaning to. As in, really wanted to, but got distracted by a pile of other, equally-shiny books.

Worth a go even if I'm not a kid anymore?

Here is the box set (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0152020802/qid=1153347549/sr=1-6/ref=sr_1_6/102-6172947-1686524?s=books&v=glance&n=283155) of Half Magic and its sequels/spinoffs. Aparently the author (Edward Eager) wrote other books as well, but I don't think I ever got around to them.

I haven't read any of the sequels since I was a kid, but I found Half Magic a few years back and loved it just as much. They're clever, cute-but-not-cloying, and have just enough sentiment to keep them from being utterly silly. And you could probably get through them in a day, they're pretty short.

The covers seem to have been done by the same artist that did the cover art to my copies of the Mary Poppins books.

Could be, the books are very old.
