   Yup, have to go with Thor on this one.  Will's great.  I appreciate his
work, but I don't love it like I do the others.  I don't curl up to it.  i
don't let myself read a story I've been saving for my birthday by him.  

Another person I'd put on the extreme like list: Stoppard.  no one gets me
giggling like Stoppard.  But he too doesn't make the love cut.

   personally I suspect anyone who puts Will down on their love list of
being a secret section man.  The same with those who put down Ulysses or
War and Peace as their favorite books -- section men, all of them.
