Yeah, don't get me wrong, I still love it just as much. With the Cooper I was impressed even more than on previous readings with the sheer power of her writing, as well as the mythic quality, layers on layers, that she projects almost effortlessly -- it's really an amazing thing she did, and there are precious few writers who can do that (I suppose Tolkien, of course; Cordwainer Smith, in a completely different kind of way; and... umm... drawing a blank.)
That actually impresses me a lot more now than it did when I was a kid, because I know a little more now about how difficult it is to write like that.
