High praise. Thank you.
Congratulations, Publius!
I loved that Book. I think I will read it again after I finish Moby Dick for the fifth time. (I like BIG FAT Books!) And for those who are critical of the long, philosophical speech towards the end, just remember that Tolstoy did the exact same thing at the end of “War and Peace”, as did Melville ALL THROUGH “Moby Dick”! LOL!
