Roger Ebert likes Never Let Me Go, based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro. I've lost interest in Keira Knightley as an actress, but the movie itself may be worth a look. (Not sure if I'd tackle the novel...)

[Edit. I forgot to add this remark last night -- I knew Ebert was an altar boy when he was young, but did he also receive a Catholic education? He writes in his review: "Two of the requirements for a being with a soul in Thomist philosophy are free will, and the ability to love. Donors qualify for both." A Thomist would talk about rationality and how the capacity to love is included in rationality, this seems to be more like a "Franciscan" account. Where did he pick this up?]

It's been a long week, and I was at the Gun Rights Policy Conference today; maybe I'll post something on it tomorrow.
