It's got so much to it that I can see why you've always liked it so well. Even if you don't do the stereotypical 'what does the green light mean' sort of analysis, you end up with so many characters, conversations, incidents and so on to think about! It's such delicious 'food for thought,' and a real look at the human experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
