Been working at eliminating nice from my speech for decades. Problem is it’s ubiquitous, as ubiquitous as fuck, or more so. But I send a hug your way for taking up the campaign against nice. Also, have been reading your books. Just finished Phantasia and have begun The Rot. Your choice of personal punctuation has not really been much of an issue for me. Maybe an occasional rewind here and there is all.

thank you. i too have tried to replace it for years, but it's tough. let's see how peachy fares. also thank you for reading my books. i'm glad the style didn't impact the reading. i assume you liked phantasia otherwise you wouldn't have picked up the new one, but still i'd be interested in knowing a bit more, what did you like, what did you dislike, any questions you might have, whatever. though i understand if you don't want to. anyway it's interesting to hear what other people think about it.

I have to call him 'Bruce Charlton' because otherwise I get 'I'm Batman' stuck in my head.

Peachy, that's good. I have been getting a little more annoyed every time I say nice but hadn't found a suitable replacement.
