She is smitten by the British: saw Arthur four times because "I love Dudley Moore." Wowed by the royal wedding, she's getting it on tape. Thomas Hardy's 1874 novel Far From the Madding Crowd was "the best book I read this year." (The high school junior pans Kurt Vonnegut's 1963 Cat's Cradle as "too hard to understand.") She boogies to Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 and Rickie Lee Jones' first album. She shuns hard rock, the soaps and "movies with violence."
