As someone who reads and re-reads books I love -- I certainly know what's going to happen, so no surprises there but I enjoy reading them anyway-- sometimes more than new stories. And I look forward intensely to reading and re-reading mouse and dragon -- which is why I buy your books in hardback, trade paperback and sometimes regular old paperback as well, so as to have good quality re-reading copies. So please, even if we know where the story is headed, we're with you for the journey, and adore the scenery.
