This is just to note that the first anniversary of Leaves in the Wind has just passed. I am writing chiefly to express my gratitude for all the renewed subscriptions. I was especially touched that so many founding subscriptions were renewed at the same rate, and I wanted to remind both old and new founders that the same terms as before still hold: with each subscription, one may give two free six-month full subscriptions to whomever one likes. Simply send the relevant email addresses to me at davidbentleyhart@substack.com.
I hope the past year was entertaining and perhaps thought-provoking for all the newsletter’s readers. I have somewhat larger plans for the year to come.
I was looking at my Goodreads last night and it occurred to me that I have read more of your books than perhaps any other individual author. Maybe that's a reflection of my youth (or horrible reading habits). But over the years your work has truly been lifechanging for me. Thank you, I can't wait to see what comes next.
Between that picture of Roland in a fedora and enough book recommendations to last a lifetime, who can say they haven't got their money's worth?
