You made me do both. I didn't cry until I read your very special last word (no spoilers here) and then I burst into tears like a little baby. Thanks for that, pard. Here's to the purest of coin, LWIII ...oh yeah, Iris is one of my favorite characters OAT. (of all time) I could crawl inside her and die happy.

This is the real payoff of writing books: not money, not a glimmer of fake fame, but of making readers happy. Gold can hold nothing against this purest of coins. See you in Twitterland!

I could tell from that magnificent novel that George is a fine person with an extraordinary mind and a soul to die for. Sure can sling the lingo. His book kind of drove me off my rocker for a bit. Emailed him with insane jabber, so doubt he's looking for me as a friend, but that's okay, I wouldn't want me as a friend either. I think part of the insanity was my envy and jealousy of his talent, and the fact I wasn't expecting much from the book. Thanks for the comment, Dan.
