::: Inferno (Niven and Pournelle)

Couldn't stop myself. Had to go back and re-read it after reading their sequel and Dante's original. It's as good as I remembered. Like any good retelling or adaptation, it's true to the spirit of the original but transforms it into a shape that's relevant for the new audience (some critic said the Watchmen movie suffered from its slavish devotion to the original -- said it was "more a curation than an adaptation" LOL!). Double plus good :)

Why is there a picture of a goat as wallpaper on my laptop? Ah, boys have been loaning it to Tom.

Please see that the Library has a new laptop. This is Unforgivable.

Replaces wallpaper with picture of Richard Hatch. As it should be.

There will be no new laptops at HSU until Vista is dead and buried. It's teh ebil incarnate and I refuse to have anything to do with it.
