Editing errors
Yes, I am still working out the editing errors. Basically, the third draft was published unedited (although and editor WAS paid and failed to do their job). I am aware of some editing errors and grammatical mistakes. The edited version should be uploaded soon.

| The fun part of listening to the audio-book version is hearing Holden's snarky sarcasm and incessant whining adds more color to the story. Having read this novel a dozen times over four decades, I know the story never changes. Yet, with each reread, ...more | |

“If she's amazing, she won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing. If she's worth it, you wont give up. If you give up, you're not worthy. ... Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.”

“At night, I open the window
and ask the moon to come
and press its face against mine.
Breathe into me.
Close the language-door
and open the love-window.
The moon won't use the door,
only the window.”

“To put Göbekli Tepe in context, its megaliths predate Stonehenge by at least six thousand years. They predate the first literate civilizations of Egypt, Sumer, India, and Crete by even more.
