I loved The Phantom Tollbooth and have read it many times. I've often wished that Norton Juster would write another novel. On the other hand, there is something, I don't know, comforting perhaps, in knowing that there are writers out there who have just that one great book in them (I know Juster has written other things). The same is true for song writers--you know how radio stations occasionally play "one-hit" wonders on a "whatever happened to..." show. I like to think that we all have a chance in our lives to do or write or create something that is really wonderful and special, that will make a difference , or resonate around the world (or at least our community!). That said, I know that feeling of wanting "more, more, more" from the author of a favorite book!
