I was trying to emulate Apollo in "Who Mourns for Adonis", STOS, where he's lamenting the fact that there's no place for a god any more to the other supernumerary Greek gods who already gave up, thinned out, and blew away.

That's really cool that you're reading a set. I did that with Tom Swift Jr, The Hardy Boys, James Bond, to name a few. You get a lot more than you would from reading just a few. You get insight about what the author was trying to do in the previously read ones. I was lucky to have read these three almost contiguously from first to last.

Did doing all that reading help me to write better later? No. When I read I was in dreamland as though one is in a theater watching a film. I wasn't evaluating paragraphs for their ideas just in the way that few watch a movie from the position of the director. We want to be entertained.

Thus, you thinned out of here to go do something entertaining. You were right.
