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.

*What was the last truly great book you read?*

?The Sorcerer?s House,? by Gene Wolfe, amazed me. It was such a cunning
book, and it went so deep. A foxy fantasy about a house that grows, with
chapters that are the Greater Trumps of a tarot deck.
