==========================
Hello, Bob;

Isn't "putting people first" just another minefield?  Who's to decide 
what's  best, and what right do they have to make it a universal stance?

I didn't find it easy, and tended to put it by until I had more time than 
usual, so I could tune in.  You have to adjust your mind, but the reward 
are worth it.  500 pages of sonorous, thundering prose...  "wherein her 
murderous hold, this frigate earth is ballasted with bones of millions of 
the dead, [there,] thou hast thy truest dwelling..."  Captain Ahab 
addressing the decapitated head of the first whale the "Pequod" kills.  I 
don't think I fully grasped things, according to the gloss added at the 
end, but it was worth trying to read one of the world's great books.  BTW 
should have special significance to you; not only a major consumer of sea 
stories, but apparently a large part of the point was that Ahab sets 
himself up against the Christian world-view, which was a particularly 
shocking notion at the time it was written.

Apparently there's a new one on the stocks (oh dear, these nautical 
metaphors); to be called GOING POSTAL.  Can't remember the publication 
date.

You should look for MISTER MONDAY first.  It's the first in a seven-book 
series, one for each day of the week.  Overall title "Keeper of the Keys," 
I think.  Actually, another one that's distinctly ambivalent about religion  
:-)  In MISTER MONDAY there's a point at which Arthur, the POV character, 
rather wished he knew more about religion while being simultaneously 
relieved that he isn't religious.  I should add, this series looks to be 
aimed at younger readers than the "Abhorsen" trilogy, but it's still a 
great read so far.  Yet more nautical stuff - a certain bird-hating sailor 
creeps into GRIM TUESDAY  ;-)  and, the title of the third book (probable 
publication date February 2005) is DROWNED WEDNESDAY.

     Regards,

              Robert.
