"Nobody picks up a manual and does perfectly. Take heart, you are learning the most difficult, most noble art—that of being more than you seem. The rest of my readers have gained an undeniably cool-looking book for their shelves (thanks, Destiny Books!). Some of my readers will cherry-pick methods or thoughts, and I sincerely wish them the best. But a very few will get in this ship and row with all their hearts without getting out of the boat. Those few, my Sisters and Brothers, will meet on a wondrous shore."
(I do intend to get to following JMG's, and some others', instructions exactly at some point, but probably shouldn't say I'm there already. Regarding Webb's book, I'm not thinking about doing all of that as written, but I'll be damned if I don't execute a bunch of ideas found in it - yes, I'll get to that in my blog.)
I do have a relatively firm intent to read The Well and the Tree and The Germanization of Early Medieval Christianity - maybe this year? And particularly having someone known to be interested, I assume I'd write something about them - thanks for the interest!
(You don't happen to have any idea about where I could find a book list half as good as yours about other Indo-European branches?)
