#N:fortune:9900008:000:231 fortune!norskog Apr 10 14:52:00 1983 I am currently reading my first Thomas Disch book, "The Prisoner", based on the best TV show of all time. Quote: "The fat woman arose from the couch, like a giant squid from the ocean, in a froth of pink chiffon." Good stuff!

For those of you others who are unfamiliar with Disch's work, I would
strongly recommend 'Camp Concentration', as possibly being amongst
his best novels.
'The Prisoner' unfortunately does not entirely reflect his
'normal' style, and certainly is only a poor substitute for the
TV series, which is, from what I remember, excellent.
