Lines: 20 From: Doug Monk Having just finished my SFBC copy of _Job_:_a_Comedy_of_Justice_ by Heinlein, I thought I might point out something interesting I noted. As I was reading along, I noticed that the phrase "stranger in a strange land" appeared in a paragraph. It was used correctly in context but also happens to be the title of another of RAH's books. I was amused. Much later that same day, it happened again : I found "time enough for love" so skillfully entwined in character and context that I was laughing with delight for a good two minutes. Not having had time to reread the book yet with great care, I find myself wondering how many other times this happens in the book, and with which titles ? ( I have intentionally left out the page numbers of the two I found in case others want to discover them for themselves. Send mail to me if you want the references. Send mail to me and/or the net if you find more ). ...perseverance furthers : obstinancy furthers absolutely... Doug Monk
