Most of the quiestions I had were answered, or at least touched \non, but I have a few that I thought didn't get enough attention.\n\n1. Who was the man in a colorless robe on the top of the platue on Green with \nJahlee?  It was when Horn went back to search for her in the tower and ended \nup climbing the cliff and getting attacked by inhumi.  And what happened up \nthere?  When I first read \"colorless robe\" I thought of the fuligin cloak of \nthe turturers.  \n\n2.  What do you think of Horn being an inhumu?  I think the evidence Wolfe \ngives is too much to ignore.  The fact that he hardly ever eats bothered me \nall through the book, especially when Hoof said he often pretended to eat and \nthat the inhumu in the boat with them ate some potato soup.  Also, Horn says \nsomething about a possible way he got to Green without an inhumu present that \nhe didn't want to think about.  There is definitely something there we're not \nseeing.\n\nThat's all for now.  More to say, but I've been online too long.\n\n-Steve\n\nPS:  Say what you may, my vote is that RTTW was AWESOME. \n\n*This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun."
