Notes:
a. Thanks to Matt for reminding that I really must get around to reading ‘A Thousand Plateaus’. Approaching it here in 2006 feels a little like stumbling into a party late, hoping that my timing might be seen as fashionable, then realising that actually it’s just rude not to be punctual.
b. Thanks to Rod for pointing me to ‘A History of Bombing’.
c. Thanks to Peter for reminding me about ‘The Castle of Crossed Destinies’.
d. Thanks to Matthew for buying me ‘The Algebraist’ for my birthday last year (it’s half finished – I’m getting there Matthew!)
