I was starting to figure that you had just looked up Quantanephilim on
amazon.com, and read my book reviews... I went on a review-writing binge
last summer- most of the reviews were rather poor and ill-thought out,
however (but still better than most that are posted!). And I was sure that
I had panned "Foundations of High Magick"... I'll have to look that one up
again.

He'd probably have known. I assumed that you knew I was at St. Thomas due
to the account that I'm subscribed under, but I didn't know how much info I
had on myself availiable online. Perhaps your way (write your whole life
story, all your interests, etc.) is better than letting people pick things
up piecemeal... (by the way, I enjoyed your story... very inspirational. It
reminded me of my own experiences, going through the public schools that had
little to nothing to offer me, trying to stay out of the social games,
studying science, programming computers, and cranking out copious amounts of
bad literature while the other students played sports and struggled through
mathematics... and then, in my teen years, facing the fact that despite what
the test scores say, I don't know how to do much of anything. I more than
understand, to say the least.)

Palm reading, how quaint! Anyway, I had pretty much figured it out by now.
