# no I've never read the book
and it looks shit, to be honest.

whimsical nonsense.

edit: sample quote -

"The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon."

Clearly toss of the highest order.

edit2: Actually, all the quotes on the wikipedia page make me annoyed.

"No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn't know it."

That's just stupid, isn't it. Admit it now, foolish author and I may yet let you live.
