it's funny, in going through some of the archives on the gormenghast site you can really see the vast gulch between the peake-freakes (hardcore book fans) and the folkes who are the jrm fans. you can practically hear the literary faction rolling their eyes when "steerpike" issues are raised. clearly we heathens are at the gate and they are preparing the hot oil ... it's a hoot.

peace,
