This is a very accessible and well-organized website. Thank you for taking the time, sharing your talents and thoughts, and lending the rest of us a hand in accessing sometimes-daunting literature. This has been a wonderful find for a better 2025!

What a warm, heartfelt guide to your blog and website! I especially loved the part about your dad and how you would sit on his lap while he read to you. Interestingly, my own pursuit of writing stems from my father's love of literature and novels, hidden behind his practical successes. Although he never had the opportunity to pursue his literary interests more seriously due to the demands of life and the world as we know it, I feel lucky to have inherited his passion for books and literature after a long career in corporate structures. Your purpose and background resonated with me deeply. I wish you all the best on your journey, and I look forward to reading your essays.
