I loved the book, Teague! I left a review on Amazon.com that should pop up in 24 hours, the site says.

I've got a thing I've been doing for decades now. If I come across a line or paragraph that especially moves me in a book, I turn the top corner of the page down, so I know where to go when I want to read my favorite parts again. Sometimes, a page corner is turned down for a scene. More frequently, a page is turned down for a clever turn of phrase or what I feel is an especially insiteful or poignant line. Although I enjoy many different kinds of books, I usually don't turn down many corners. I ended up turning down five page corners in "The Pull of the Earth" which is far, far above my average for 233 pages. It other words, I found your book to be full of gems.

Bravo, Teague, bravo! Now write us another one!
