So, any other boothies out there?
Oh my, yes. A really excellent book - one you perhaps get more out of when you're younger, but it ages really very well unlike very many "childrens" books.

It's funny this topic should come up - I'm at this moment nearly finished reading The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson, possibly my second favourite novel of all time, and the one I got out of the library to read after is... Dune, which without a shadow of a doubt is my favourite. If you haven't read either, then what are you bally well waiting for?
