Enjoyable story and characters. This book is sometimes jarring though in its styles. One minute the narrator is musing on the cost of war and the next an eccentric professor is pulling out a paisley sock from his briefcase. The absurdity of this type of thing was a bit too much. If toned down to be less silly, this would rate much higher for me. I did like the cross over of "reality" to "fictional works" but the author never really got me to the point of suspending disbelief. Bookworms - really?
