by John Hodgman
Grade: Unfinished
Read: To page 352, plus random other stuff throughout
There's just too much in here to properly read through. One needs to own this sort of book.
However any faults of un-readability it may have had were totally and utterly redeemed by a mention of The Doctor!!!!! on page 288. It was the Sixth Doctor, which isn't my favourite, but it's The Doctor all the same. To quote:
"But Van Buren's shrunken-head necklace was imported from France, and in all respects he was known as something of a free-spending dandy, favoring brightly colored vests and ascots and strange, luminous wiastcoats. Only later did we find out that this was because he was a Time Lord."
"RED is the most joyful and dreadful thing in the physical universe; it is the fiercest note, it is the highest light, it is the place where the walls of this world of ours wear thinnest and something beyond burns through. It glows in the blood which sustains and in the fire which destroys us, in the roses of our romance and in the awful cup of our religion. It stands for all passionate happiness, as in faith or in first love." -G. K. Chesterton
