Tongue in cheek (my own) but I had to laugh yesterday when I was sent a photograph from a Santa Cruz, California home. The subject of the photo is a bong. But look what the bong is resting on.

Now my street cred among my former students has hit the roof, will they rush around to Borders and online bookshops to buy Exit?

Pretty cool, Geoff.

I think I might pick up a copy. I don't read alot of sci-fi (that's where Exit fits, right?) but I've become interested in the genre lately.

Is there a thread where Exit is summarized?

Thanks, elay.

LOL maybe that cliche no such thing as bad publicitiy has a bing bong of truth!

I'm wondering if Dave Paul Cambell, the guitarist, related the glass spheres in the bong with the alien spheres in Exit, Pursued by a Bee?

Trouble is, after a hit off the bong he couldn't be arsed to read the book :grin: Probably just sat staring at the front cover repeating the words, "Wow, maaan...."

Nice to know the book's getting out there :smiley:

It's got more street cred than my copy of the Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. As a book, it makes for a great door stop. And as a door stop, it's better employed than it ever was as a good read.

That bong really belongs on top of "Escaping Reality". Beside the bubble wrap, of course. :)

Hi Donna, I'd forgotten about the bubble-wrap sex scene in Escaping Reality, do you think I have a spheres / bubbles fixation? Do I need help?

Bubble wrap sex scene? That brings a whole new meaning to 'Once you pop you can't stop'!
