Just a quick Note...

[Crochet]

I know we are going to go over the books one by one, and I so look forward to that! However, I wanted to thank Ms. King on her fabulous handling of the Israel/Palestein issue and background story in O Jeruselum. Having lived and loved in the Middle East for almost a decade (before returning home), I have to say it was dealt with in a most educated and balanced manner, rarely if ever seen in American writings.

Thank you.

Hi, Crochet! That's cool that you lived the Middle East. You'll be able to add a lot of perspective on that region to some of our discussions. Like many people in the U.S., I have a lot to learn about that area of the world, so I look forward to hearing about your experiences and your thoughts about them.

Oh, and just to make absolutely sure LRK sees this, you may want to repost it in the Author's Study thread (http://laurierking.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=9)
