Book Excerpt for the Day

    "The good thing about being in the BookWorld is that we aren't hampered by anything as awkward as physical laws.  The RealWorld must be hideously annoying to do science in, but given how difficult it is, I suppose breakthroughs are of greater value.  In here, for example, perpetual-motion machines are quite feasible."

    "What's stopping us from using them?"

    "Finding a way to make them stop.  Once we've figured that out, we'll have perpetual engines in every minicab and bus in the BookWorld."
