Yeah, I don't know either. But my mom showed it to me ... we were all excited. Mom read it. I finished reading what I was reading. Picked up the front page and your article had suddenly disappeared! GASP! Let's all say it together ... ahhh, good times ...:grin: Speaking of the article in the Statesman … we some how thought you made it to the front page. Yeah, I don’t know either.

It's something not talked about much: How great literature is not just entertaining. Great literature collides with the reader's life, posing powerful questions that require thoughtful answers. This process requires the reader to look inside herself for the true response.

I do love a good protest. Ah well, reading for one's mental health is just as worthy a cause... And I'm pleased to report that from where I'm sitting, your brain doth function with the same graceful agility and elasticity as it did when I first met you some ten-odd years ago. (You're laughing at the "odd" part, aren't you!) Oh darn… I do love a good protest.

How conceded of us to think that if we do not enjoy a book it is the books fault. *Luc only has one shoe on*
