broad array, wide array, an array, different, many different, billions and billions (Oh, hi, Carl!), a number of different, a whole lotta (no?), wide ranging, wide range of, multiple, many types of, different types of, myriad (what? I like that word), and, finally, many different and wide ranging multiple arrays of types.

Because books.

I need to figure out where to do some research, though, other than rewatching Carnivale. Not that I'm not planning to do just that.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I need to figure out where to do some research, though, other than rewatching Carnivale.

I wonder if looking up information on the show itself would point you to some of the sources used.

Because books.

Also a good source! This is why I need you guys! I should probably reread Geek Love, too, although I'm one of the few who didn't like it much.

Water for Elephants

There are a lot of books about the circus and sideshows.

The boy and his selkie could be really good, although selkie love stories never have happy endings. On the other hand, you did a great job on the girl and her dead boyfriend, which was not exactly a happy love story.

Oh, Water for Elephants! Good call.

Man, I have some reading to do. And I just wishlisted a bunch of stuff on Amazon I'm going to look for at the library.

Thanks, everybody!
