A reader from New York sends the following gratifying missive:
A while back one of your postings was linked in Arts & Letters Daily. Little did I know then that I would find a bright, quick-witted and courageous blog, where I would spend Saturday mornings enjoying intellectual and political friendship. I turn especially to your postings on authoritarianism and fascism, discussions on jurisprudence and links to philosophy sites (such as the philosopher's carnival), but skip over announcements on recent appointments in law and philosophy. Though my Ph.D. is in philosophy, I work as a librarian and teach philosophy only part-time, thus I am not directly concerned with the makeup of particular departments....
Great blog. Keep the heat on. There are many of us, in or out of academia, that seek unvarnished discussion on what is shaping out to be a wholesale overturning of U.S. society and culture as we know it.
I am struck by the fact that a good number of the correspondents I hear from "out of the blue," as it were, with generous words like this turn out to be librarians. It's particularly nice that this blog strikes a chord with some of those who devote their professional lives to the care and nurturing of books and readers. Thanks for spending some of your time reading this blog: I welcome your "intellectual and political friendship."
