The second story of Guth's many transformations had all the elements to be funny, but seemed to fall short of hitting critical mass for a chuckle.<BR/><BR/>I'm interested to hear what you think once you're done.

Then again, sometimes ya gotta go with yer gut.Robin Shantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04898683891101365304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19079986.post-49851370184444564532007-11-21T22:44:00.000-08:002007-11-21T22:44:00.000-08:00I'm only two stories into THE COMMONS.

While the first story took some time for me to wade through (mainly having nothing to do with the book - it was very late at night before I could get to it. Read/Sleep/Repeat.) once the concept of the noosphere finally clicked, it was fun. The 2nd story was a hoot, one that could easily have been silly were it not for Hughes' deft handling of the humor.John D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03315231512528211559noreply@blogger.com
