Neb, great ficlet - I love how you depicted Giles's role as something he inherited from his father, and I loved the part where he admits he had always loved books but then cast them aside in behalf of practical experiences, and how his time with Buffy is a on-going reciprocal learning experience!
I'll be sure to vote "Learning" at tamingthemuse!

(I chose this icon because it's the only one I have about Giles, not because it's what I wanna say!)
