I wasn't kidding when I called it the greatest book for divinatory Bibliomancy.

The book could be easily call meta-relegious, as it seems to emcompass and intertwine every relegious/spiritual/divinatory practice and then mash them together into a lumpy (but tasty) Compote.
I remember recently randomly crossing "Hogwarts" in FW a few months ago. Not to mention "Quark".

FW is an ongoing debate for me, though of course I've never made it all the way through the actual text itself - at times I'll consider it genius, at other times downright stupid and pointless.  It is however the most wonderful of all meta-fiction, being the book that seems best read by not reading it at all (instead, by reading a book about it).
