Bill,
Personally, I have never read this book before, but this post does a really good job of analyzing some of the strategies that the author uses to move the plot along. From what I can tell, this book seems super interesting. I think imagery is a super important part of all the books that we read, and this author seems to do a really good job of using powerful imagery. I hope to read some of your posts about this book in the future!

That sounds like a great life. I hope that with hard work, you accomplish your goals of becoming a successful architect & husband. I too hope to one day be successful in my desired field.
Good luck!

Dear Bill:
I am fascinated by your discussion post titled “My Life 20 Years From Now” because of how optimistic you seem about the future. Not to mention how detailed your prediction was.
One sentence you wrote that stands out to me is when you mentioned you planning to have a few cats in the future because I would assume having animals would be too time-consuming given everything you have planned for yourself.
Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because of your optimistic view of the future
