So I think this discussion is very interesting and useful, but I would like to point out one thing that is bugging me about this thread. I notice a few people are referring to the author as simply "Rick". Now, I'm all for familiarizing yourself with the author, and I understand that as a modern author the lines are slightly blurred, but let it suffice to say that we should give the basic modicum of respect to the author and refer to him by either his full name or his surname only. After all, you would not use the name "Will" to indicate that you were talking about Shakespeare.
