Found your snippet on the Blogging Torries. I enjoyed your post to send it to someone and bookmark you site myself.
Yes, someone else is enjoying them. Just arrived from Maverick Philosopher...and glad I did.
I'll be looking around!
I am.
However, since it is your blog and I'm not paying for the enlightenment, if you're busy and don't have time to post, I promise won't complain! 
Thanks guys. Every once and a while I feel like I'm posting into an echo chamber in which I'm the only occupant. The posts will continue just as soon as I find time to pick the book up again. (ie. soon!)

You are one of my favorite bloggers. And I'm a secular eastern liberal! We see the world very differently but I like your approach and subject manner.
I probably drop by once or twice a day. But I admit I've skipped a couple of the really long posts. Though I don't see anything wrong inherently with long posts, perhaps you occasionally string too many of them together?
I do hear that Tom, and I am trying to work on it. Maybe break it into smaller posts, that sort of thing.
I went to Chapters to buy it - $21 + taxes. I declined. Went to Amazon.ca - $73 ?!? Clicked on your amazon.com link, will order from a re-seller but first I have to have them send me my passowrd.
I can NEVER remember the bloody thing; I always need them to send it to me....
I don't think it's a matter of breaking posts into smaller bits but of interspersing long posts with smaller stuff. Most of the bloggers I like to read are pros, and I notice the length of their posts vary enormously.
Tom - Variety is the spice of the blogosphere, I'll grant.
Carlton - Amazon re-sellers can save you a bundle, but - don't forget to take the postage into account. Sometimes that will make a used book close to or on par with new. I bunch my orders in order to get free shipping.
I'll watch out for the shipping costs, thanks.
Tom/Curt - nothing wrong with NWW's long posts; you are the blogger you are and everone should just deal. Just read NWW with a nice Scotch and a bunch of time and you'll be fine.
The quality of the thinking is way, way above par IMHO.
At Upper Canada Catholic I try to mix up the irreverent with in-your-face apologetics and "think" pieces that explore angles not yet contemplated elsewhere.
I don't always succeed, of course, but it's not like I'll get fired or anything 
.
On occasion, I'll get a good link from from an outstanding blogger and I'll get over 100 hits in a day. When I'm on my own, it's around 35 or so. So what? That's 35 people who like to read me for whatever reason. Good enough for me!
Above all else, to thine own self be true - Curt - write whatever you want and make them all longer than a bad opera; we're reading it aren't we?
Carlton - It takes a blogger time to find his sea legs. NWW has gone through editorial changes as my idea of what the blog is has changed. You probably will as well. I like what you're doing and hope you'll stay for a while.
Re: "Every once and a while I feel like I'm posting into an echo chamber in which I'm the only occupant." I started paying attention to blogs about a year ago, and since then, you and one or two others have been drawing me into a mental conversation with Christianity I did not expect to be having in my late 50's. I'm not sure where this is heading for me, but for me, this is no echo chamber...
I'm very flattered to hear that!
