Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm glad you liked my list---I decided it was safer to go for a tone of somewhere between joking and serious, since a list of "five smartest people" is really a tough one. But it's good to know someone appreciates my tastes and opinions, even if they are sometimes bizarre.

And to return the compliment--I am amazed also by your eclecticism, thoughtfulness, and dedication to books! I'm glad that we're friends on Goodreads, and family in real life.
