We love Cyclops and as you know, we love James. It's a great team and we'll continue the team, obviously.
real book reading
No one bothered reading the books and understanding - and again, I'm not being high-falutin' about it - but I think our books are great literature with great metaphors of real life dealing with fears and hopes.

I think well-read people - the world is open to them.
