Couple of questions

I'm finding "Stick and Rudder" to be a pretty good read - the first few chapters have dispelled a lot of my misconceptions about how aeroplanes fly. As I'm getting further in to it I'm finding it harder to relate to - unsurprisingly, really - but it seems like a very good book.

FNG - I've never heard anybody actually critisize the nosewheel configuration, just bemoan the fact that "In my day lad we were all better for flying with t'tailwheel: A good groungloop every so often never did me any harm" etc etc
But seriously, Evo7 keep at it - you'll be OK so long aas you think about the training when you can't fly.

Evo - I think I had about 350hrs before I read the book and bought it and Plourde's Compleat Taildragger when I bought a share in a taildragger.
It really did make me understand things far better than I previously had.
I have dipped into it fairly frequently since first devouring it 5 years ago. Between Trevor Thom and Langesweiche I don't think that you'll go too far wrong.
So - was your first lesson in a tailwheel aeroplane? No, thought not!!
