What a co-incidence: they're my two favourite cities in the world too! Though I'm very fond of Melbourne and looking forward to spending a week there. See you at the launch!

I've also read all of Scott's books and loved them too. I totally agree with you about movies from the late to mid 1900's. A few days ago I watched 'The 39 Steps' with my Mum (or Mom as Americans say, I'm from Melbourne, and am hoping to go to the launch of HTDYF in Febuary) , and I really wanted to know what happened after the movie ending so quickly. All they did was tell you the secret the whole movie was about, and then it finished! I think it's strange, the reader or viewer can imgaine things even if they told us a little bit more. Also, I think the endings in Magic or Madness is good! I can't say about the others becuase I haven't read them yet! From Joey P.S, I am so jelous that you live in Sydney and New York, they are my 2 favorite cities in the world!! Hi Justine,
