That's kind of you to say--thank you. :) I have to teach myself not to care in any case. I'm actually pretty good at it but was still raised in the culture I was, so that whisper is still there sometimes.
makes my eyes cross when I try to follow it on my own without help.
It is very tiring close reading! I'm sure I've missed a few already (currently trying to finish the "Beren and Luthien" chapter before going out on a date with a handsome bearded guy in an hour). But I'm already seeing patterns that are interesting in light of some of my hypotheses. That's exciting and definitely motivates me to come in here and chip away at it a little every day. I want to be finished with the Silm in plenty of time for the UVM conference.
