And I should probably remind you that Beowulf is now available (I will not be auctioning copies of this book anytime soon)

Now that the novel is out, I wonder if you could tell us how you feel about it. I haven't yet had a chance to start it (I did buy it, though), but I know those writing, unwriting, and editing marches were quite hard for you (to say the least). Any thoughts now that the book is out in the world?
