Right. So? I can readily admit that I find vocations or
compulsions much more interesting than "jobs". It's what
somebody MAKES of the job, you see. Maybe it's significant
that you never find me on DL saying, "I'm about to take a
holiday in Keokuk, can anybody give me the titles of some
crime books set there"? I also don't read quilting mysteries
or canning mysteries, and I happen to know that Lindsey Davis
and Anne Perry aren't primary sources.
Dear heavens, Jim Doherty, you think that MOBY DICK is a
WHALING PROCEDURAL? I'll just copy in below the rough 119,000
word draft of my book, SIGN AND SIGNIFICANCE IN DA WOIKS OF
HOIMAN MELVILLE .
No?
I retire - briefly, briefly - breathing heavily.
