I thought about it and decided it was something I felt comfortable doing.

-For Roberta the journey is the thing

-Great works of fiction can’t be spoiled because they have other things to offer then mere plot points

- I think that spoiler culture stifles discussion. And while I may dance around certain things for plot centric books that require it or even for newer material I’m far less likely to attach a spoiler warning to a 10 year old book.

Love the book, and you’re right about its greatness — but I fear that the fact that you’ve given away the ending might discourage people from reading.

I’m not even too sure that Sandra is one of my regulars. She once called me a champion of the obscure.

As one of your four regular readers (So it’s me, the Nerd, and Sandra. . .who’s the fourth?) consider me sold! 300 pages of suicide note sounds like an ideal weekend read.
