I had almost literally just finished reading Eric when roommate

innerbrat came up to me and proudly deposited upon me . . . Eric.

"Oh, thanks!" said I. "But I just finished rereading it. Too bad my copy doesn't have pictures though."

Debi stared at me. "Becca," she said. "You read the Eric without pictures?"

"Ye-es?" I said. "Weren't the pictures added later?"

From Debi's look of mixed horror and pity, I was given to understand that a.) I was wrong, and always had been wrong, and b.) there is no point to an Eric without pictures, Eric had always been meant to have pictures, and c.) and what had I done?

Which leaves me with something of a dilemma, because I was fully ready to write a whole entry about how I was not particularly impressed with Eric (basically, Discworld Faust with Rincewind in) and now it turns out I've read the wrong Eric and therefore I can't really justify any judgments of it at all.

There is a poll to vote in over at LJ though!
