great book! ponder stibbons Send a noteboard - 09/07/2010 02:16:45 PM
... as is its sequel. Or was it a prequel? One never knows these days, especially with all the time travelling going on in DGHDA.
BTW I also remember moments of me realising a gag or something alike only on my second read through the book or even days later. Usually resulting in a violent burst out of laughter.
And since my first computer in 1984 was an Apple IIe (Mac predecessor) I know what you mean by geekish nostalgia.
I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when
there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it.

I have to do Dunsany and Byatt first, or Rebekah will hurt me. *NM* - 03/07/2010 09:12:46 AM 803 Views
Bah, of course you have to do the Byatt right when I'm not there. - 06/07/2010 05:03:21 PM 1446 Views

I have appropriated Mr Gently's holisitic approach to detective work as a study aid. *NM* - 06/07/2010 03:24:35 PM 803 Views
