I thought this Amazon customer review of Pale Fire priceless. The review is
entitled 'Beyond the Pale Fire':

epicurean" (Victoria, BC Canada) -



Fire - a timeless subject. Perhaps rivalling the wheel in terms of its
importance in human development, fire has been an important companion in our
teleological quest towards perfection. This book didn't really directly
tackle the subject of fire as poignantly as would suit my tastes. If you're
interested in furthering your knowledge of fire I recommend the movie "Quest
for Fire", the song "Fire" by Arthur Brown, and "Backdraft."
