I'm on my third reading. I know, I know—fanboy rampant, Mr. Overdo.

The moment I saw "Under the paving-stones, the beach!" I was in love.

This is like one of those bound collections of medical transparencies,  
where there are layers and then there are layers under the layers, the  
beach under all those paving stones. There is the "Nick Danger, Third  
Eye" layer. There is the "what I was smoking and where I was smoking  
it while I was writing you-know-what" layer. There's the "CIA  
activities right in my fucking backyard, fer christsakes" level,  
there's the "scryers I used to know and other freaks I've known &  
loved" layer, there's an overabundance of CIA citations and references  
and then there's the Bonzo Dog Band like a cherry on top, God bless 'em.

So I'm happier than a pig in shit.
