So it was short story first? That explains it! It should probably have stayed that way. Thanks for the recommendations, I might look them up and see.

I didn't know that! That certainly is ironic. And another great argument for books (e-, paper and otherwise): they have a life of their own. I obviously did not get from the book what the author intended, but that doesn't make it any less valid.
