I just wanted to say thank you!

Hello, I am writing to you today because I just found out you had a website and wanted to write while I had the courage. I wanted to say that I have been reading your novels ever since I was around seven years old when I ‘borrowed’ my older sister’s copy of ‘4 Fantastic Novels’ (I am now 32 years old). I love reading and rereading your works and I wanted to thank you for greatly affecting my sense of humor and the stories you have written.

Also what is your favorite food, I am curious!

Daniel replies:

Thanks for your kind words. My favorites change, but for the past few years there is one dish I eat every day. Into a fairly large stock pot I dump anywhere from 8 or 9 to as many as 20 different vegetables, fresh and frozen. I add salt and spices, bring the whole business to a boil for roughly 20 minutes, (longer if the ingredients are frozen), let it cool on the stove for 4 hours, and eat it hot, cold, with rice, with eggs, blended into a soup, every which way. It's never exactly the same, and I never get tired of it. You asked, and I told you.
