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.

3) Reread. It's better the second time. It will be even better the third 
time. And anyway, the books will subtly reshape themselves while you are 
away from them./Peace/ really was a gentle Midwestern memoir the first 
time I read it. It only became a horror novel on the second or the third 
reading.
