i'm catching up cos i never read alice and i think it's pretty interesting. i'm reading the annotated version, which makes a lot of sense out of things. i wish everything had an annotated version...
i wish there was an annoted version of me. useful facts about summer to help everyone put her quirkiness into context.
I just wanted to say, if you like the Alice books, read "Automated Alice" by Jeff Noon. It's basically an unauthorized sequel to the original books by Lewis Carrol. I think he even pretends that it was written by Lewis Carrol and he just edited it or something, or maybe I'm mixing it up with something else on that point.
But it is great, and I thought really felt like the other two, but its sort of like "what if Lewis Carrol wrote an alice book that dealt with the ideas behind computers"
One thing is it has a couple small references to Noon's Vurt series, if you haven't read that (I hadn't) they won't get in the way, I think they're just gems for Noon fans to get.
interesting. i'll put those on my to read list. thanks for the tip.
