Gosh... I'm overwhelmed.
I am getting many more suggestions than I can fit into one or two
paragraphs, but if anyone has any other ideas please keep going. It's
all very interesting and maybe I can write something separately, getting
more specifically into the subject.

All the suggestions are helpful, in one way or another, regardless of
whether I shall actually use them in this book. And, in any case, I am
having a lot of fun too. :)

I am sure there is, though I don't seem to remember anything that fits.
But I can't really re-read a thousand and one stories... any examples
coming to mind?
Thank you all. And I hope this thread can go one for a while.
