Fair enough! I'm not familiar with the book.

Sorry. I haven't read that book. :)

calcifer | karma 3833 | avg karma 5.87 · | 2020-11-02 12:25:04

That's fair. Perhaps we can revisit this in a future thread after reading the book :)

YeGoblynQueenne | karma 22041 | avg karma 2.5 · | 2018-10-16 21:10:11+00:00

My mistake. I don't think I've read that book.

PilotPirx | karma 32 | avg karma 0.74 · | 2010-10-15 20:06:22

Oh, ok. Thank you for clarifying this point. I didn't know the book and thought it strange in combination with this unconfirmed information.

js2 | karma 29275 | avg karma 4.69 · | 2019-07-08 22:45:12+00:00

It's discussed, but not by name, in the book.

yasoob | karma 798 | avg karma 5.32 · | 2015-08-17 19:38:12+00:00

That is totally different from my book :) I haven't read it so I can not tell how much different it is from mine. Perhaps you can tell if you have read it?

Was the discussion in the book? I don't recall it.

lovich | karma 7762 | avg karma 2.92 · | 2018-03-02 20:58:41

Ah I hadnt realized, thought OP meant it was in the book. I agree with your assessment then

Interesting. Somehow i have no recollection of that term even after reading that book. It was a number of years ago now... perhaps it's time for a revisit.

I made this comment without reading the post and didn't notice where he mentioned the book.

flak48 | karma 1179 | avg karma 4.97 · | 2020-08-07 20:03:24+00:00

I had read the book, but not the Wikipedia article.

jemmyw | karma 1905 | avg karma 1.95 · | 2024-01-28 04:12:59

I take it then that you haven't read the book.

(I’ve read the book) no spoilers!

ggm | karma 23381 | avg karma 2.27 · | 2018-11-19 00:38:32+00:00

Thanks for the pointer! It's been years since i read the book, well before Internet days. I should have done my homework before posting.

edent | karma 28585 | avg karma 9.66 · | 2021-06-26 14:39:58

That's a very fair comment. I must go back and read the book again some day.

wolverine876 | karma 13735 | avg karma 1.72 · | 2024-03-07 22:49:10

Maybe that's true if you've read the book? I learned several things of interest.

corethree | karma 355 | avg karma 0.32 · | 2023-11-06 10:21:22

Never read the book. So your response is not only incorrect but I have no clue about what you're talking about.

A better response is to spell out your disagreement so that I can understand it without having to read a book.

Nope, didn't read it. I didn't realize the book touched on this, though it wasn't meant as a criticism of the book (or HN) anyway.

baron816 | karma 6826 | avg karma 5.6 · | 2023-10-15 10:28:09

What? I don’t think you read the book.
