deborah: the Library of Congress cataloging numbers for children's literature, technology, and library science (Default)

no, I completely understand. Amy Stern and I recently wrote a paper comparing Rob Thomas' Veronica Mars with his novel Satellite Down. It wasn't until we started working on the paper that we realized that we have committed ourselves to closely reading a book we both hate, hate with a fiery burning passion like a big hatey thing. Yes, of course, it was still pleasurable to find all the elements of the text that supported our arguments, but overall, there was a lot less joy in the experience that I am usually seeking. As you say, we could be spending that same energy finding something exciting in books we love.

Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.
