You know they didn't have that many books in those days, let alone funny ones. It was clear sailing for anyone who could more or less read and write. Still is, now that I think of it.
I was browsing through the Talk to DP Foum Archive, and someone mentioned you giving him a copy of Tristram Shandy a long time ago. I just wanted to let you know that someone’s actually gone ahead and made a film out of Tristram Shandy. Appropriately, the film is about the making of a film based on Tristram Shandy. It was pretty funny.
