I wish I could thank some of the teachers I had for helping me create a vibrant mind life for myself. Unfortunately, we often realize much too late the value of good teaching. As former students of good teachers we can only live our lives as tribute to those who taught us so unselfishly. Take care.Paul L.

Your comment, for me, is humbling, and I endeavor to never disappoint you. As for the escape through reading, I mourn the loss of childhood today. What will future generations escape into: violent video games? texting? May we all be lucky enough to live at least part of our formative years in our imaginations!Paul L.

(you ask). Well, I don't know about anybody else, but you often introduce a book I'd not heard of before and convince me it's worth a look-see, or--in the case of the Sherlock Holmes collection recently reviewed, remind me how much I enjoyed reading them and no longer have any copies left, prompting me to order the book from Borders. It will accompany me on a trip in a few weeks, as a welcome companion. <br /><br />Literary reviews sometimes say more about the reviewer than the book reviewed. (So you were not the only kid to escape into literature and go mentally where you couldn't physically, to be someplace other than where you were. Happened to a lot of us, I suspect. And look at all the places we went, and things we saw, and who we met!). Thanks, Paul. I agree with Lally. Good writing is good writing, and you're a good writer.awynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01541564613932885469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390199041521256086.post-54787411667741653752011-01-06T20:05:31.681-08:002011-01-06T20:05:31.681-08:00Thank you, Michael.
