          <body><![CDATA[Probably the only book by Barth I haven't liked.  The first chapter is great, and his continued focus on characters who have no reason to do anything at all...well that's right up my alley.  But it's not nearly as interesting as &quot;The Floating Opera&quot; or &quot;The Sot-Weed Factor.&quot;]]></body>
