# From what I recall
having read them a Long Time Ago at an Impressionable Age they were pompous and self-righteous to a terrifying degree and populated entirely by thinly-disguised stereotypes.

You, of course, are entitled to your own opinion. :)

# If you like doorstopper books
the Night's Dawn trilogy by Peter F Hamilton is a great rip-roaring page-turning hi-technology space-operatic gory swashbuckling lusty enjoyable read. If you like that sort of thing. And two of the books in the trilogy weigh more thatn my head...AND it's not in Douglas Adams W I D E S P A C I N G, so you get more bang for your buck. It's not as funy, but it quite gripping.

Yes.

# i've only got the swf file so i couldn't resize it
the original is 300 pixels wide, but i stumbled thanks to nanaman trying to view it on opera, into a way to get it huge like that, no idea how the code works but it is more or less what i wanted originally.
