Well, I'm glad to see if I turn to There are Doors next I'll have some
company on my voyage.  The mundane comment was sort of a fear I had moving
beyond the Urth universe -- Wolfe did such a spectacular job creating that
universe you have to wonder how many times he can come close to such a feat
when he starts from scratch on a non-Urth world.  Still, I think I may make
There are Doors my next challenge.  Thanks, Teflon.
