Dear Angela,

	I've been meaning for ages to take a look at *The Last Puritan*, but other
things have always come up.  I suspect that many of us--and certainly
me!--would be interested in hearing more about the book, and hearing any
observations you had about how "Gouldian" it is.  Did Gould just steal the
title, or did he really identify with the book?  What made it so powerfully
appealing to him?

	Thanks, and happy reading!

Robert
