Reply to comment by Prometheus357 in Why do some books blank out arbitrary place names? by PangeanPrawn

I always wondered this about names in older novels as well. Like you'll see a character referred to as "Mr. M----". Same thing?

I always wondered how you were supposed to read this in your head. Do you say Mr. M? ("Mr. Em") or can you make up a name, like Mr. Montrose...

i'm learning quite a bit from these comments though!
