When I tried reading it at the time I first heard of it, though, I very quickly became bored of it and gave up. But recently it occurred to me that the book might read better to someone who has an intrinsic love of birds properly installed, and gave it another try - and it was so worth it!

That's such an interesting reading experience--when you try the first time and it's not clicking, and then you have some sort of experience/gather new knowledge, and the second time it works!

I'm just like HOW RUDE. HOW DARE YOU. YOU'RE SO WRONG.

I am in LOVE with your reaction!!! Having strong feelings about such things!!!
