BOTNS is a classic

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Yes, I'm rereading a fair amount of Kipling now and  when I've run this race 
I'm going to reread Eye of Cat and the WK again.  I feel sure that my 
opinion of WK will only get stronger as my opinion of Eugene Sue continues 
to ever get weaker.

Wow!  So you guys think TWK is even better, eh?  That's quite a compliment.
I wouldn't rule it out, but I've never been very interested in fantasy.  It
took me quite a while to give BotNS a chance, since it wasn't 'obviously' 
SF.
