Carson's degrees are, by the way, all in the field of Classical Studies, the same field as my bachelor's. It's kind of cool to see someone bring a classics background to modern literature as she has with her original writings.

My writing is not Nobel material (yet). Give me twenty more years and the time to focus on it (i.e. retirement) and who knows.
