Thank you! I'm so happy when I see an email from you and know I've got a way too brief escape from the insanity of the world. You are a much better read than a Mehmet Wizard of Oz story. I may need to give an e-reader another chance given your love of your Kobo. Years ago, I fell asleep and when the reader dropped on my nose it felt like when the ramp of the Millennium Falcon dropped on the sleeping Exogorth. My awakening was not pretty.

Bought the kindle book; joined your Substack. I f***ing love your office! A sure sign of genius!

I loved The Sword of Shanarra at 18 and I’m certain I could reread it today (at 69.8) with near equal enthusiasm. Still on my shelf from the Science Fiction Book Club!

Makes sense that you read only novels on your Kobo. I too, read only novels, and the occasional very light non-fiction, on my ereader. I seem to retain non-fiction better when I read it in physical books, and I also like to chase things down in multiple books at a time.

Boy, I hope we're allowed to read it down here, James. With the Misadministration coming in... hoo boy.

True story, sometime in the 80’s I fell asleep with a vibrator plugged in, it wedged between my footboard and mattress and almost caught the mattress on fire. Same thing, the plug got hot. Geez!

Ordered from Walmart. I had it from the library, really enjoyed what I read. I’m looking forward to reading it one day at a time for the entire next year. It may put the crap we will be facing, into perspective. 😁✌🏻
