All,
I just finished David Brin's _The Postman_ (while listening to Janet Jackson's
"The Velvet Rope"...no connection - I just like to have music playing while
reading). It is a postapocalyptic novel that sees Gordon Krantz, a minstrel
(sp? no dictionary nearby...) of sorts, don the clothing of a dead mail
carrier for warmth and survival, only to lead to the largest story he ever
told: the story of the Restored United States of America.
Now, it deals with women in intrguing fashions. I don't want to color
anyone's minds if they haven't read the book, but I would like to discuss what
everyone (who has read it) thought of this book and the wide range of women
presented in the piece.

P.S. Yes, this is the book that is the basis of Kevin Costner's new movie,
_The Postman_ (coming out next month). I have no idea as to what the
storyline is, but there are still shots that I can't find matching scenes to
in the book, and a vast number of names seem to have changed...anyone have
more info on the movie?
