It is quite possible that I have no life. But it is true that this is my absolute favoritest series ever, so... |

No one who sees all you accomplish could possibly think you have no life. You have art and chickens and a spouse after all :) and a garden, and soap, and cooking and baking and friends and family - you have an incredibly full life and with all that you have a very sharp eye as to details regarding our associates the Atevi. Well done. keep it coming :) |

I think the details like that must get sharper if you've read a book as many times as Neco seems to have. |

Yes, well... *blushes* It is probably kind of embarrassing, how many times I've read these books. The fact of the matter is that they are my easiest form of escapism, as they allow a complete immersion for my imagination, which on stressful days is what I need. |

So say we all :bunny7: I re read them all now as each new one comes out because I can't remember details anymore. And I read nothing but the chanur books for about ten years because every time I tried reading a new author I hated him/ her. Perversely I read cjc less now that I spend my time with you guys because you have all referred other great sf writers. It is one reason why the Babbler is so sacrosanct to me. |

While Atevi may well have a keener sense of smell, I find it funny that no one has considered that humans may not smell strongly to other humans simply because we're used to it! |

We go out of our way to rid ourselves of our smells. The natives of Brazilian Amazon think westerners don't smell like people. They say we smell like other weird things. |

Westerners is a funny word to use in relation to Brazil-dwellers. The only good word is "people from developed countries whose majorities largely originate in the Western part of Eurasia". |

I bet you German has a word for that, albeit probably not any more concise than your phrase, Eupathic Impulse sir. If only Vetch were here to supply that word. |
