I still adore these books. So far I've liked the second and third books almost as much as the first, which is hard to do. In this book Percy meets up with Artemis and her Hunters and has to embark on another cross-country journey.

Yeah, you read that right. Marina Sirtis. Counselor Troi.
Orchestra 2001 opened their 2010-2011 season with the piece "Enoch Arden". It's a piano piece composed by Richard Strauss, using as a text the poem "Enoch Arden" by Tennyson. Marina Sirtis gave a dramatic reading of the poem, with piano accompaniment. We read about this in F's college's events flier and just looked at each other with amazement. WTF! How could we not attend!
Marina is still beautiful. She read the poem beautifully, and it was really moving. The program was rounded out with two tangos by Osvaldo Golijov. I wasn't as impressed with the first of these ("Last Round"), although I was impressed by the cute violinist in the corset and hot boots. I really liked the second tango ("Lullaby and Doina"). But the real reason everyone was there was for Marina. F and I were hoping the director might give some sort of brief speech telling how on earth such a concert came to pass, but no luck. The music and the poem and her reading of it were well worth seeing on their own, even without knowing who Counselor Troi was. Very cool event.
