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.

On the bookshelves (at least when some of his books are misshelved in=20
the Fiction section), Gene Wolfe sits by the early 20th-century writer=20
Thomas Wolfe. Has anyone read any of Thomas Wolfe's work? Would you=20
recommend it? I've always been intrigued for some reason by Thomas=20
Wolfe's intimidatingly large books, and wonder what sort of experience=20
reading him is.
