Non sequitur
Last night I saw Alice in Wonderland, the new Tim Burton and Disney collaborative take on the Lewis Carroll classics Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking Glass (1871). Although I enjoyed it - mostly on the aesthetic and visceral level of 3D nausea-inducing delirium (no, I wasn't high) - I realized that I'd never been a very big fan of the literary nonsense genre.
