Another fun read. Through the silliness JKJ's more serious side shone through. In this case, when he talked about religion. No matter what religion's holy house you are in, there will be silence. Silence teaches us no creed, only that God's arms are around the universe.
Of course, there are also enough hilarious quotes:
I do not intend to describe it [a starry night] to you. To do justice to the theme, I should have to be even a more brilliant and powerful writer than I am. To attempt the subject, without doing it justice, would be a waste of your time, sweet reader, and of mine - a still more important matter.
It looked like a cheese that had seen trouble.
It is undermining my moral character, this book is. [an inaccurate timetable of trains] It is responsible for at least ten per cent of the bad language that I use every year.
