I wish someone would let me re-read ONE of the essays I wanted to reference. Why isn't his fan base allowed to read even one like his homepage says?
I realize that I am hundreds of days late, and an equal number of dollars short, commenting on this essay, but I've never been accused of having impeccable timing. As much as I admire your writing, both fiction and these essays, I'm even more humbled by what you mentioned you were doing with copies of Fight Club for deployed soldiers. I hope someone came through and facilitated that amazingly selfless act of yours.
