Lawrence, feel free to write as you usually do when commenting on a book. I think you have a wonderful style of interacting with a book and I, for one, would be delighted if you joined in. Think of the exercise as interacting with Taylor rather than John, and then add it to the conversation that includes John, myself and hopefully others. Though I am not so sure about Geary because, well, because Geary will be Geary. I am glad you ordered the book and look forward to your contribution. Sincerely, Phil Enns Toronto, ON p.s. Just kidding, Mike. ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
