---------------------------------
Thinking about it last night, I should have qualified my post:  IJ seen in 
the light of the 90s is the book of the decade.  Now, since 1975 or the last 
1/4 of the century, it doesn't rate with M&D or even Underworld.  I wonder 
it's staying power outside of that decade. But this is just riffing 
nonsensically.
