Thank you, Noodlemantras!


From our correspondence with Mr. Burrough regarding his participation in our Q&A:
Burrough: "Oh, this should be fun. I have had the *best* time reading the ONBC posts. Your readers are so thoughtful, they pointed out things I'd never recognized in the book, both good and bad."
Liz: What have you enjoyed most about reading our discussion?
Burrough: "What excited me about reading the ONBC posts is how thoughtful they were. I mean, your readers obviously spend a good deal of time actually reading the book and thinking about it. Plus, you know, an author never really gets to hear people talk honestly about his own work. Friends, well, they're always kind, maybe too kind. Only some place like ONBC can you see what people think. It's painful sometimes, but hey, I'm a big boy.
The tidbits were fantastic. I felt you guys did almost as much research as I did! Your whole setup just struck me as what the Internet ought to be. Here is this little haven for kind discussion among people who obviously like each other. I have to say, I thought ONBC posters were among the most polite I'd ever read. That's one thing that often bugs me about chat rooms and the like, rudeness."
You guys rock!!!!!
