Hmm. I submitted this yesterday. I thought the dupe preventer was better than this...<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=164592" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=164592</a><p>Edit: Oh, I see, this one uses the "print" link.

Highly recommended reading (mentioned in passing in the article): Colson Whitehead's "The Intuitionist", a magic realist novel about a black female elevator inspector. No, really!
