Are you slow-witted? I'm so sorry for you. It's terrible to be dull and stupid.

Favorite books and authors while growing up - I'd need a book to list them all. For the sake of brevity: Shakespeare, Dickens, Mark Twain, Victor Hugo, world's mythology, the Arthurian legends. And the unabridged dictionary. And they're still my favorites. They get better each time I read them.

I loved all the world's mythologies.

It was 1943. The U.S. had already entered World War II, so I decided to join the army.

Most of my books have been written in the form of fantasy.

For man to be worthy of any rank, he must strive first to be a man.

Forgive me....I called you an idiot. I spoke too hastily. You are not. Had I given it more thought, I would have called you a scoundrel.
