HDM: some general comments

[redrose]

I'm finding reading this book now a very different experience than before, since I am pausing to consider what's going on, and the influences, and the symbolism, and what I will post. Usually, when reading, I inhale the book. I read about 2 pages a minute, and I just sit down or curl up and read. I'm not doing that with this book, and that feels kind of weird.

I realize I'm slow at posting, because a lot is going on. Does anyone mind? Will anyone but fledgist comment? Please?

The line in my profile about reserving the right to be arbitrary and capricious is because I want it made clear that I reserve the right to moderate and delete, without explanation, just in case anything nasty ever erupts in here; I will already have stated a policy.

Also, there is a link in the left sidebar that leads to all the HDM tagged entries, so that it's easy for y'alls to find them.
