And "Travels with Samantha" is a hoot.  His coding style is very similar
to his writing style -- lispish.  But, then again, he's an old-hand MIT
LISP hacker.  You should read his tcl one day -- I've laughed till I've
cried over some of his code.  (I don't know if that's more of a
statement about his coding style, or about my reading habits.....)

Philip is certainly an interesting writer.
