From a reader:

Hi Jonah,
I debated pretty heavily about sending this email, because I didn’t want to come off as a creepy stalker type, but then I figured “What the hell? I always love getting compliments,” so here it is. I drove over from Columbus after work the other night to see you speak at Denison, and I wanted to tell you just how much I enjoyed the evening. I thought the audience was respectful and attentive, and I thought your speech was fantastic. I was impressed with how articulate and eloquent you were, and how accomplished you were at making the speech sound new and unrehearsed even though you must have given it numerous times before, and how during the Q&A session your answers were as thoughtful and persuasive as if you had been able to spend as much time on them as you had your speech. I was also impressed with how friendly and personable you were during the book signing. The entire night was like a fortifying dose of medicine. I hope your trip to Ohio was as positive for you as it was for me.
I think your book is fascinating, eye-opening, relevant, and all the good things people say it is. Thank you for it.
Sincerely,
Laurel
