What astounded me about AH,       VH was the amount of incredible historical detail, both personal to       Lincoln and more general, that was included to flesh out pretty much       everyone in the book.                     --        Sea Wasp        /^\        ;;;        Website: http://www.grandcentralarena.com Blog:       http://seawasp.livejournal.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
