There's so much mean-spiritness and insults and stuff in some of the Salon letters and other forums, but the responses to Cary and the people who write in to him are always reassuring about human nature. Yeah, the inside/outside thing is always good to remember - never judge how a book is feeling by the sprightliness of its cover. Write on, right on, live on, Cary and letter-writers and responders!
