Dr. Gouvea,

I love Wolfe's short stories, but I confess that on those occassions
when I have read an entire collection through in a day or two, I tend
to get the kind of headache we normally associate with the result of
eating something very cold (like an Orange Julius drink, or a milk shake)
too fast.  Personal weakness.  So I have to limit myself on those
short stories, make the book last at least a week--they are just too
concentrated!
