I'm already in love with The Merry-Go-Round in the Sea and it looks like I can order it through Bookfinder.com or even Half.com, but I'm going to pretend I didn't hear you say anything at all, because these suggestions rock and I want you to keep 'em coming!

P.S. (Post serial!) I take it that the Miles Franklin Award is roughly equivalent to our National Book Award, Pulitzer or PEN awards?

Correct. It's our main national literary prize.

Also Powells tends to have really good selections - though prices tend to higher than half.com.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Yeah, we got a few of them too. No doubt the States have an even bigger population. I wouldn't be surprised if a few of them really believe it as well.

If I only had a brain...

I found that a much more charming idea before I knew about midi-chlorians, the Lucas version of predestination.

Now, I think people should register as Discordians.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

I went down as 'other: pagan'. I was very tempted to put 'Jedi', but decided against it. Hadn't heard of Discordians then, of course.

Watching The Office starring Macca.

Who is Chris Finch? If it turns out they are alluding to Ben Finch I am going to get upset.
