Pale Fire

[Jasper Fidget]

Well, we could divide the NPPF sub-group into two sub-sub-groups,
NPPF-SPOILED and NPPF-UNSPOILED.  Or we could just wait until a certain
Expiration date for spoilage (the way they do with lettuce).  (I *think*
I'm joking.)

If you were teaching this book to a classroom of students I think you'd
probably go through it once linearly and then discuss it as a whole only
afterwards.  Or would you teach it as "hypertext"?  Or would you tell
them: "Don't come to class until you've read this book from beginning to
end ("Pale Fire,"[...]"a distant northern land.")?
