...impressed by how well the sound projector could replace the five speakers that are carefully positioned-ugly exposed wiring and all-around my TV room. The speakers give a little more midrange than the sound projector, but when it came to the tinkling of glass or rushing of wind in the surround channel, both rigs gave me a satisfying feeling of immersion...
...sleepovers at Worm's house, Spider is revolted by the leaves and rotten tomatoes served for dinner. Conversely, Worm is disgusted when Spider molts. Spider, much like his young readers, is a little guy trying to learn how to navigate the world.

Often they have even cast it. In the late 1930s, by the thousands, readers of Gone With the Wind demanded that Southern rogue Rhett Butler be played by that damn yankee Clark Gable.
