Liz Smith's Ideal Dinner Date? Cynthia McFadden Has the Scoop

I had a sneaking suspicion that our Liz wasn’t entirely who she professed to be. I don’t doubt her depth and intelligence one bit.

Candice Bergen Live Blogs Oscar Night

Candace, I actually enjoyed your writing about the event even more than the actual event. Very in-the-moment and enjoyable. You are a classy dame, if ever there was one.

Interview With 'Frozen River' Director Courtney Hunt

It’s so exciting when good things happen like this, especially to women. Great interview. I look forward to seeing the movie.

Liza Donnelly's Cartoon of the Week: Post-Republican

Love it! I never had a unicorn poster but it’s a great addition to the cartoon.

Westminster Dog Show Special: Temple Grandin's 4 Ways to Give Your Dog a 'Good Mental Life'

I’m reading Animals in Translation right now. It is very well-done. Dr. Grandin is doing good work out in the world and she relays what she knows in simple, yet profound, ways.

Westminster-Quality Dog Books

I agree that Merle’s Door was a fabulous read. I laughed. I cried. Then I gave my two wonderful mutts great big hugs.

The late John Updike railed against digitization of books. Does the Kindle et al threaten the intimacy, sacredness of reading?

I have a house full of books and love the company they offer. So I guess I am old fashioned in that way. But I also write books and if a Kindle will get more people to read fiction, then I’m all for it. Susan Gabriel author of Seeking Sara Summers (soon to be on Kindle)

Joan Ganz Cooney: Age 50 Is 'Young Enough'

Thank you for this, Joan. It is a good reality check for me. I recently turned 50 and I’ve been feeling so old. I think I need to be grateful, instead, and enjoy the years ahead of me.

Announcing wOw’s First Book Club Selection

My congratulations to Elizabeth Kelly! I look forward to reading her book. Thanks to “Google alerts,” I know my new novel, Seeking Sara Summers, has been picked up by three book clubs around the country so far. It is very exciting.

Hillary Clinton to Meet With British, German Leaders

I’m proud of her, too. I think she will do an amazing job.

Do you feel differently about Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman & Gabriella Montero's Inaugural concert, now knowing it was pre-taped?

I don’t see that they had much of a choice if a stellar, flawless performance was their goal. The frigid temperatures most likely would have prevented that. Whatever the format, it was an amazing piece of music played by amazing musicians.
