I think you are so right zif, I may well have been doing what you say for nearly 30yrs now. The first time I read it, I could not put the thing down, I awoke in the morning with the book resting on my face and carried on. For one magical weekend in March 76, I was utterly transported to another place, one that felt so real, yet unreal. I desperately wanted to know what the end was, yet I dragged my feet every step of the way, soaking in the vision made real by the words. The first time was truly magical and has never been the same since. I now find when reading it, that I re-remember things that have slipped my mind (it is a fault of the old), and find new joy in understanding how other people see and explain things on this website.

Well done zif for a good thread.
