Sorry, I was being lazy. :oops:

Wow-wow sauce -> Elves

(I must say, by the way, that Pterry's vision of Elves is unlike anything I've ever seen - making them lazy, petulant, nasty and cruel is practically the opposite of Tolkien-esque or D&D-esque elves, so well done Pterry for breathing new life into a rather tiresome concept!) :)

If you want to read about nasty Elves try this:
Kingdoms of Elfin, Paperback – 26 Jul 1979

Sandra Battye -> Evil-Minded Son Of A Bitch

(...who was probably the smartest mind in all of Holy Wood). ;)

It sounds brilliant... but alas! :( It is not available on Book Depository, and if I order it from Abe Books, the postage & handling will double the price. :|

I'll see if I can get it locally... maybe a local bookshop can order it, or maybe my local library can do it. (We have a service called Library Link Victoria, which means that I can request a book from any library in my state, and it will be delivered). :)

Thanks for the recommendation, Dug! ;)
