I’ve written you once before to give kudos, and you gave a polite and prompt response that encouraged me in my own studies. I frequently check for updates on your site and YouTube, and have turned several people on to your work and passed out your book as gifts. After a recent visit to the Joseph Campbell library at Pacifica, I thought about writing you again, if only to remind you that there are those of us out there inspired by your work. If ever my thoughts are gathered enough to contribute to the web/published ongoing dialogue regarding our subject, your name will be near the top of the list of acknowledgements, and I believe your name will be remembered prominently as one of those who not only continued, but brought into the modern world, the trail blazed by titans like Campbell himself, as well as more esoteric travelers like Gebser and even Steiner. Your own modesty will not permit you to admit it, but synthesizers of your type are difficult to create without driving them off the deep ends of sentimentalism or polemic. Thanks again for your work, and keep it up.

I am a big fan. I love your books and all of your YouTube material. I had three questions for you, two of which are related:

1) What did you think of John Hillcoat’s version of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road?

2) What do you think of Cormac McCarthy’s masterpiece, Blood Meridian, and what do you think of the possibility of transferring it to film?

3) Have you considered doing any reviews of, or reflecting on the different possibilities of, some of the serials and mini-series’ out there? I am thinking of shows like The Wire, The Sopranos, etc. and historical mini’s like Rome and Deadwood. Many of these seem right up your alley in many ways. Most TV is worthless garbage, but some of these are wonderful.

Thanks, and keep up the great work!
