where does she buy them? who collects them? it must cost a fortune to harvest. And overripe tobacco leaves have to be brown tobacco?

Because you're right. I'm merely a fan and I generally don't even stop to consider such details. I'm constantly blown away by how much stuff my fellow boardwalkers notice that I probably wouldn't catch no matter how many times I read the books.

I think he's humoring as well. I believe you've caught him in something he didn't consider.

The main events often pass by me untouched. In "Sophie's choice", I understood how cruel and sadistic it was to propose such a choice at the end of the book. But the extra tiny details I notice. I'm not near-sighted, but point blank-sighted...

I did consider, but kept her smoking anyway because I wanted her to, and hoped no one would notice. Those hopes have been dashed (but it took years and years).[/SIZE]

Good going Lysis; I hope you haven't ruined his desire to write.

So, what does exactly Anya smoke?

She could have been smoking pot. You only smoke the bud from the plant, not the leaves.
