Alas, I must once again remind large numbers of Chinese salesmen and other worldwide peddlers that if they fall into the Gulf of Spam, they will be eaten by roaming Balrogs. The rest of you, lovers of grace, poetry, and horses (nod to Yeats--you do not have to be fond of horses), feel free to leave fascinating missives and curious arguments.

Wow! That's good.

ReplyDeleteMe too!
ReplyDelete694 readers of that chapter?
ReplyDeleteWell, that should equate to 694 more copies sold in time then.
Excellent!
I hope some of them convert to readers of the whole book, rather than treating it as a short story!
ReplyDeleteYou're up early, out there in Ohio! Me too. I got up early as well and am working on my library talk...
