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.
