Dear Friends,
I have written an Open Letter to Vin Suprynowicz, a novelest, Libertarian writer, and syndicated newspaper columnist. The first paragraph of which runs as follows:
Dear Vin Suprynowicz:
Your books have recently been brought to my attention by my eldest (homeschooled) adult son. I read The Black Arrow first, and was hardly able to put it down until I had quite finished it; after which I immediately passed it on with high recommendations to my youngest (homeschooled) adult son, who began reading it concurrently with Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead. Meanwhile, I have recently finished reading The Ballad of Carl Drega, which prompts this letter. The purpose of this introductory paragraph is simply to clue you early that what follows is not "hate-mail." It is somewhat lengthy, however. You're O.K. with "lengthy?" Somehow, you do not strike me as a man who requires spoon-feeding with "sound bytes." I found your book highly stimulating, and there is much I would like to say to you, and to a possibly wider circle of readers, in response.
If you would like to read the rest of my letter to Vin Suprynowicz, you may do so here.
The preceding is another edition of an accumulating collection of "Dear Friends" letters addressed to subscribers to the Freedom Digital Library distribution list. To subscribe, unsubscribe, or contribute commentary, send an e-mail stating your wish to [address obfuscated], and I will add your e-mail address to, or subtract it from, the current distribution list, or respond accordingly.
The communications you receive from me via e-mail will be brief, will not include any attachments, and will (with possible minor exceptions) merely inform subscribers that there is new content available at the Freedom Digital Library; with a brief description of what it is, and were. The HTML version of this letter may be viewed from the "Dear Friends" page of the Freedom Digital Library. That's about it.
Love, Peace, Joy, Now,
Harmon
