Hm. I tend to prefer Winnie The Pooh by A.A. Milne for it's
spiritually edifying qualities. But, I'll keep an eye out for
The Pink Dolphins.

Well, with your recommendation, I shall *not* read the Mission
Earth series, then. Thank you, O Mighty Nenslo, for saving me from
this obvious drainage of Slacktime that could be better spent sitting
in front of the terminal in patient hope that a new missive from you
would be gracing my screen.
st. andrew, ksc
who doesn't have *time* to read, dammit.
keeping the universe in quasi-balance millenia past its
due-date for reverting in upon itself takes a little concentration.
Temporal quirks? When you feel them, that's when I'm actually making
my next chess move in the game I'm in with JHVH-1. Right now I have
him in check, and boy is he pissed, so you can look forward to some
temporal stability for a while...

Nenslo replies: Eeeegzactly. That was the BEST damn review I could give
it and I sure never meant to make anybody NOT read it. I'd like to get
everybody to read it, just so they'll know. I'm waiting a couple more
years before I try vol.2. Anybody who'd read my rave review and then
NOT read it just because it SUCKED WORSE THAN ANYTHING, why, there must
be something wrong with somebody who could think backwards like that.

Okay...did it suck more than Samuel Delany's "Dahlgren?" Honestly,
I've never met anyone who actually made it through that book.
