From Lord Kahless' review of "Pawns and Symbols":
> . . .Often, the same

I think you need to modify that a bit:

     s/on page 55/of the first paragraph on page 55/

Otherwise, of course, the comparison doesn't make sense.  In any case, this
is a point well taken.  I'm surprised you noticed the similarity of these two
lines -- when I was reading the book, I THOUGHT I was reading the same lines
over and over, but I thought that was because I kept dozing off.  :-)
