Heh. I love how you 'nudged' me to go read it, yet you didn't comment yourself. Hmmm. Anyway, even without that, the sheer word volume alone (and the writing itself, of course) were enough for me to conclude that. But I like surprises, so I didn't want to say ... "so, did you write that?"

At least you know all the pain was worth it, because I loved it. AND lost sleep just to finish reading it too!
