    RE PJB:

    I borrowed from your brilliance. ;)

    Hope you don't mind. It just seemed easier to follow the format used.

    When I was in form 2 (year 8) I had to choose a poem to memorise and recite. "Jaberwocky" was on the list and it fascinated me no end. You'll be pleased to hear that I can still recite it perfectly...:-)

    RE ted: Jabberwocky is one of those delightful poems where the sounds of the words make the story.

    I especially like the bit " The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!"

    Hope that doesn't make me sound too bloodthirsty.

    Indeed it is Beep. Now if only I could spell it...:-)

    It doesn't make you sound blood thirsty at all. As you say, it's the sounds. I particularly liked "O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" The words don't even exist, but somehow they manage to make perfect sense. He was an amazing author and one hell of a mathematician too...:)

    "Siddhartha" is an excellent book indeed. I actually liked it much better than Steppenwolf.

    RE sh:

    "Siddhartha" was a great book, but for me, not as psychologically raw as "Steppenwolf."

    But if you like the writings of Hermann Hesse, you are ok with me. ;)
