NP:Greatest Dead Novelist

[the Robot Vegetable]

I've read it "through."   Reading the newest edition I then read
some of the variations, but that got to be a bit much.  I didn't
read all teh variations. I thought the book great when I read it, 
but I don't have that sense now.

Hermann Broch rocks. _The Death of Virgil_ is stunning. A lot of
work, but it rewards the effort.  _The Sleepwalkers_ is a trilogy
of short novels publihsed as one, in which Broch attempts to
understand how the culture of the late 18th century could have
resulted in such a catclysmic war in the early 19th.
