I want to see your analysis of Pride&Prejudice. I remember a panel on Austen at an sf con where the panelists explained things that weren't obvious to me -- why Lizzie's mother risks her oldest daughter's life, how badly the daughter who runs off jeopardizes the odds of marriage for all of her sisters and the reason that's such a problem, that sort of thing.
I think Robin forgot to bring on the gaming bits when analyzing Casablanca, because he got caught up in how great a movie it is, but I can forgive that, because it really is that great a movie. I also think he tends to overlook or ignore some of the important differences between a television show / movie and an rpg. But, yes, definitely a book worth reading.
