Obviously what you are doing right now is called (in my upcoming book of psychology at least) validation. I think it's a normal thing to do. People will reply, say anything, and then you're gonna do what you were subconsciently thinking of doing all along.

It's not a novel, just a collection of non-fiction articles.  It's closer to "Palm Sunday" (his "autobiographical collage") than to anything else he's written.  It's good, though.  The man could write phone books and make them entertaining.

"As a matter of fact I only work with the feeling of something magical, something seemingly significant. And to keep it magical I don't want to know the story involved, I just want the hypnotic effect of it somehow seeming significant without knowing why." - Len Lye

Journey to the Centre of the Earth - Jules Vern

Supoib. Along with a load of other cheap penguin classics I bought, to be eligible for super-saver delivery. If you're ever a £1/$1 short these make double the bargain.
