//Schmerguls, I am not sure. In the past I think we've been considering the last letter to be the last letter in the spelling of the numeral, thus 0 -- zero -- O. Anyone?//

The Eight
by Katherine Neville

ETA: I guess it could be either way. Two thousand, as you read it, does seem upon second thought to make more sense than 2 0 0 0, as we do say it as two thousand, especially when meaning a year. I think I was wrong. Sorry.//

"...the last letter in the spelling of the numeral" (96)

Well, to me "the last letter" of 86 is -D -- if you spell it

out, and that lis the way it has most often a(not always0

been played on.

So I agree with Schmerguls on 86-87, but I don't

really care whether a D or an improvised "O" is played on.

H . P.Lovecraft: against the World, against

*I got interested in this title through mere literary history curiosity; I had never seen an ANTI-Lovecraft book or article before. I borrowed it from the Public Library, and read part of it, It is PRO-Lovecraft! (Iʻm not a Lovecraft fan, nor especially a Lovecraft-hater, either.
To the old saying, ʻDonʻt judge a book by its cover", we might add, donʻt judge it by its title either. Iʻm assuming now that the authorʻs "against" phrases are a compliment--coming from him.
