If I went to a metaphysical doctor and told him all my symptoms and their causes and that doctor put his finger on my psychic pulse, listened, said hmmmm a lot and looked over his horn rimmed spectacles at me, he might come wisely to the conclusion that I should read Island. Having done so, having just finished it, I have swallowed quite the psychic horse pill and I can already feel it working through all my sympathetic systems. Now I need coffee.
