Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Is it any good? Sounds like my kind of genre. ;)

It's ... interesting. Bought it remaindered - Suzanne Brockman, "Born to Darkness" - dystopian future, not too distant, getting people who use more than the usual 10% of their brains and develop special powers that way - telepathy, empathy, telekinesis. Not surprisingly, the hero's a former Navy SEAL.

Jenna is one of the best dancers on the show, and always has been. I don't get America.
