Reading the Urth (and the late Whorl) lists has made me think about the
way I read.  The regular (and apparently unending) unurthing of things I'd
not noticed brought me to the onclusion that I was generally an uncritical
reader.

Reading that rasfw thread however maybe I'm too hard on myself.  If I lack
insight then in comparison some of the contributors to the thread are
close to brain death.  I can understand if ones taste simply doesn't run
to the baroque use of language but for someone who'se read it to say
"Severian is a man with a good memory" beggars belief.

Thanks too Jerry for reminding me why I gave up reading rasfw.  :-)

Matthew
