Here's my take on why CB is so great. The philosophy. The story
is hilarious, and that's what hooks you at first. I had never seen
a character quite like Robert before, and the whole Bandito
sub-culture was fascinating. The chaos, the anarchy, these things
get you to read. But the reason some of us read it five times, and
_must_ own a copy is because the chaotic action covers some
well-reasoned philosophy. The point is two pronged - the physics
builds the rational case for chaos, while the story itself provides
a different "argument", concluding with my favorite passage in the
book, the one beginnning "I am still a student of the cosmos...".
I think that's why I love the book.
