You may want to skim Adams on Darwin. Didn't Darwin and Kelvin wrestle
with the age of the earth, as Henry does, when searching for his
geological father in his Chapter on Darwin? Yeah, maybe that yellow
cloud is heat death of the universe.

not so sure about Bernay here, but I do find the conradian secret
sharing and dostoyevskian doubling of double maltese secret agents and
falcons narrative within narrative a bit like not in Kansas anymore
and, as I'm always reading about herds and following the yellowbrick
road in my FT and WSJ and, as this is a major theme of Adams, where
the art experts can not even tell a novice why or if a painting is
worth anything (Adams's chapter on art--xiv) and as the banks go belly
up on exuberance and excessive tulip madness and mobs and mobs of
crowds...I wuz looking to Mark's reading of the truly exciting
chapters from Adams--like Chaos.
