I agree that it is difficult to read some of the writings from 50 years ago and prior. In editing, I'm trying to bring the writing in the book to a place where it is enjoyable and relatively easy for anyone to read. It is tough because I don't want to alter too much.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306854704766653209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987271399653590272.post-13803880805982232802014-02-14T11:48:28.504-05:002014-02-14T11:48:28.504-05:00I wonder if some of that (and I get what you are s...I wonder if some of that (and I get what you are saying) is due to our social media world of Facebook, Twitter and blogs. When I read older works, like from the 1950's, they writing is substantially more complicated and requires more effort. I sometimes really struggle reading older books because I am so used to getting my information in snippets.Arthur Sidohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03848508095612688493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987271399653590272.post-447365278860647892014-02-14T04:57:02.118-05:002014-02-14T04:57:02.118-05:00Jeremy,

It's fascinating to look at the different perspectives coming in through the chapters. And yet, there are consistent themes: mutuality, body life, caring for the needy, the importance of the one anothers, etc.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306854704766653209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987271399653590272.post-31465354450062114262014-02-13T23:02:27.906-05:002014-02-13T23:02:27.906-05:00Editing is fun, isn't it!
