I don't know if anyone has pointed this out, but how cool would it be if Bill Gates used hubski

I loved Galapagos and all things Vonnegut. The Atlas sounds handy. I can see one wanting to look up the longitude and latitude of Galapagos.

The atlas is great, its really interesting to trace the routes different characters take in books and gives you a even more in depth experience.

It has been over a decade since I thought of The Westing Game. One of the favorites of my childhood. Wow. I'll have to pick it up again soon.

I thought The Westing Game was even better reading it in adulthood, its an interesting commentary on capitalism and the american dream.

Excellent. I'll find a copy right now. Also have to nod to Galapagos.
