I read this for pure humour, without trying to remember much - for when I tried to, I found my memory failing me. It is a beautifully written account of a man's crazy idea of reading the Brittanica aa a whole. If not for anything else, the book should be read for the simple reason that it is one of a kind. Pure entertainment with loads of information, that you may never need. :-) Agree with you again.
