Why... thank you! Really. I'm not used to being considered an interesting person. I think I am, in that we all have something that others might find interesting, but when I was younger, maybe because I was rather shy, I was the one who was never considered, always put aside in favour of other people who were more brilliant, more lively, more... everything. And I suffered this treatment even in more recent times, at work, for example. It's something that sure didn't help me develop a self-confident attitude...

Sorry, what do you mean by 'laundramat books'? Books that you find when you go to a self-service laundry and read while waiting?

Another episode I love, and that's in one of my books too, is the one called All our Yesterdays. It makes me terribly sad but I love it, starting with the wonderful title (a quote from Macbeth). Do you remember it?

Drop by more often, when you can, you don't have to do it every day if you don't have time. Our little group seems to be going through a moment of hibernation but it's nice not to lose contact.
