"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I have it, but I haven't read it enough (just finished off volume 2 of LOEG).

I just read it about a week ago. It's good.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I liked it well enough. My main problem was that there almost too many media references to sort out. It became a puzzle after awhile. (Although I have to admit that as a Gerry Anderson geek, I loved the XL series references.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
We own it, but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's not the end of the League story. We're already working on the next instalment, which will be a three-volume work called Century. The first one takes place in 1910 and is called What Keeps Mankind Alive. It's the Edwardian incarnation of the League, when Raffles the gentleman thief and Virginia Woolf's Orlando were members, and we're going to be doing our version of The Threepenny Opera, complete with Mack The Knife and Pirate Jenny. I've written a new libretto for it.
Drool....

I quite liked that aspect. Like I could read it again in ten years and I'd get twice as much from it as I do today.
