Women read Wolfe too

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.

My sister and stepmom read a lot of SF. I got my (non-step) mom to read the first New Sun book, but I think she found it too 
creepy and didn't follow up with it. I'll have to suggest the other stuff to the rest of my family. My wife has read a bunch of 
SF, too, but since she has poor eyesight she usually sticks to audio books. Sadly, I haven't seen any Wolfe in that format.

My point is,  you're not alone!
