I had forgotten how outrageously funny this book is (if you've got a British sense of humor, which I do, having lived there in the heyday of The Young Ones). I am intrigued all over again (because I've forgotten since last time I read this) about how the titular character's name was originally supposed to be "Trismegistus," but was changed to "Tristram," two VERY different names, if you know the roots of each.

This would make an incredibly boring movie, but it is an incredibly un-boring book. Clearly there is a literary media barricade around this thing. If you don't read, you are missing out.
