Yeah, it was the book they were reading when I got invited into our high
school's honorary book club- in fact, it was so "weird" to them (keeping in
mind that this was a very conservative private girl's boarding school) that
they figured they'd better invite me to join, because I was likely the only
one who understood it- after all, I was known for being a voracious reader,
of science fiction among other things, particularly in study hall, where in
theory I was supposed to be studying ;-) Graduated in 1971, so this would
have been 1968 or 1969.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
