Walter Percy

I need to read this:

In other news, saw the new Robin Hood flick yesterday afternoon. So-so. Scott didn't really tie the story up very well and it drags. Essentially, it's a set up for future sequels--Robin doesn't become an outlaw until the end when the dastardly King John reneges on a deal to make common Englishmen free and happy with a chicken (or rat) in every pot. Before then, we have Robin returning from the Third Crusade, engaging in a lot of fighting and grunting, and then winding up in Nottingham and impressing Marian with his rippling biceps and command of the Magna Carta. All in all, okay but I'm guessing the sequel (if it appears) will be a tighter story.
