Hi James, nice review

[@johnmooney9403]

Great review as always James. Enjoyed your excellent interview with GC mckay. Fascinating to hear both your views on literature.

Nice review again, and I don't tend to prefer most genre fiction, including horror. I found your observation on the missing question marks interesting. I was thinking about this topic just recently. In one case, they are typically redundant...especially in English grammatical construction because we've got so many preliminary interrogative terms: how, why, when, where, and so on. On the other hand, if they are meant as intonation markers, the Spanish have it right. They spot them inverted at the start of the sentence to provide an immediate cue: 'What you are about to read is a question, so don't forget to lilt at the end'. I was pondering this because I use ElevenLabs AI voices to narrate much of my spoken audio output, and it rarely lilts at the end of sentences, so I figured, why bother? «« O! the irony. The content conveys the interrogative nature. In fact, One can't express 'why bother' as anything but a question, so the question mark is redundant. I like the approach even if I am not quite ready to adopt it. I have enough companions about my style of prose.

@@philosophicsblog But what about one-word questions? < Oh, the irony! For example, you sometimes see this in dialogue between two characters: 'Tomorrow?' 'Tomorrow.'

I found some sentences superfluous. Like in the exerpt you read here. Because they are dead. This happens a lot throughout this book. The tipic is of bad taste and terrible topic, grotesque

@@beethbachmoz I thoroughly enjoyed it.
