Ummm, since I have multiple degrees in English literature, a lapsed
master mechanic's license and have owned one Triumph or another for
almost forty years (with the first a `63 Spitfire), I felt entitled to
comment on this year's Bulwer-Litton award winner on more than just his
literary merits (limited though they may be). :)
One just has to comment on the obvious, sometimes, after all. :)
Cheers.
