I've been receiving a lot of emails....

....many of them surprisingly complimentary.

Here are just some of the words and expressions my correspondents have used to describe Hogan's Goat....

Arid, passable, mainstream, banal, boilerplate, dull, humdrum, middling, bland, nowhere, moderate, ordinary, mediocre, plastic, commonplace, unexceptional, run-of-the-mill, white bread, so-so, tolerable, undistinguished....

Don't you just wish you were me, luxuriating in all this praise and adulation?
