Hi Michael,

Good to see you (or at least evidence pointing toward you).

Donald Lopez is a superb scholar, and he has the rare gift of being able to 
write books that are not only readable but fun to read. As a bonus, he loves 
to upset received opinions on things and so has the knack of irritating 
blind-faith types. You can't go wrong with his material.
