Ah, thanks, should have checked Wikipedia first. It explains a lot.

Says a lot about your literary criticism skills, though.

Not sure what this cheap shot was for.

I read it as a compliment. MugaSofer is impressed by the fact that you made an assessment of the similarity between the two novels that is borne out by facts of which you were unaware. It would be like someone listening to a piece of music they haven't heard before and saying "Sounds like Debussy", and it turns out it was Debussy.

I meant it as a compliment, yes. Sorry if I was unclear :-(
