Jesus. Hello? Impressed yet? Jesus. ( sincere sorry to those with sensibilities to using Jesus as an exclamatory...) Of course , impressed isn't what you intended, of course I know that, but still.

Each book commentary an advanced writers class, graduate level. Really. Could dwell on each for a very long time, glean and take for my writing, cut and paste... Were it that simple, osmosis perhaps? ha!

I will have to follow up on Nabokov (among others), soon. Thought I'd read him...

Thanks for the great recap Felicia.
