My spellchecker must have made a Freudian slip. (I mean to
say, it's not like me to make a mistake, is it?) Makes you
wonder about what goes on in the deeper recesses of
artificial intelligence, don't it? I'll try to keep a closer
eye on my software in future. It can't be trusted. I'd like
to read what you think about the Peace novel/s. A few people
whose taste I think highly of have recommended it & I'd
be interested in seeing what other people think also. I don't
think I've seen any of his stuff in the local bookshops &
I'd like to know more about them, whether they'd be worth the
expense of importing them.
