A quick favor from anyone who has read any of my books. If there’s a passage–sentence to paragraph range–that you’re fond of, can you let me know? I’m working on a project that requires a bunch of them. You can leave them in this post’s comment thread or over on a discussion thread I set up on my Facebook writer’s page, or–if you’d prefer not to air such things in public–you can email me. Thanks!
