Sure, such mentions are almost mandatory if there's any trace of
rebellion or teenage-dom.
I guess for me it was odd because I would have appreciated hearing
SOMEONE indicate SOMETHING to show that he or she had read a book other

Oh, well -- as John said, it had its moments as documentaries go.
Good to hear from you too!
