Jeffrey, let me just say thank you. You're essays are always so dang good and make me wish, strive, and try to be half as smart about my own reading as you are. I mean this truly. I love reading the fantasy genre, I try to slow down and think about what I'm reading on a deeper level, but then I get sucked into the story and the pages start flying and when I get done I feel the enjoyment of experiencing a good story but suddenly cannot remember anything deeper than the main plotlines.

I'm a work in progress, but in the meantime I absolutely love getting to read insights from people like yourself that are much smarter than I am with this stuff! So thank you again!

Wow Dave, thanks so much for your kind words! I'm glad to know I give off the impression of being smart, for I fear my thoughts are not always so eloquent. All these thoughts just come from spending too much time on my own, I think. I feel like I stand on Bambi-like legs when I try and bring these thoughts together. Like you said, its a work in progress. But, to know I'm not just shouting into the void! Thank you!
