Well, Of Great Price is next on my Brampton-To-Read list, and since it's chaptered, I don't doubt that you probably needed some unplanned shenanigans to push through it! If I had known when I was in high school how much seat-of-one's-pants strategies are involved in writing a novel, I would have been able to laugh at the Deep and Intentional Meaning my English teachers attached to every word of our assigned reading.

Oh, dear. I should be forced to tear up my writer's card for that last convoluted sentence.
