That was a long, leisurely re-read. And on the whole, my memories were right, although in one or two instances I was too harsh.
A splendid book. And I also highly recommend the BBC Radio adaption.

Fuzzy Nation, John Scalzi's re-telling of the Little Fuzzy/Fuzzy Sapiens books by H. Beam Piper, which is the only book I've bought this month, using a 45% off coupon at Kobo Books.
