(urth) This week in Google Alerts: review of _The Knight_

[Matthew Keeley]

In the comments, the blogger talks about the Tower of Glas being one of the
more "videogamey" aspects of TWK. This rather surprised me, as I think
there's a lot going on in that particular passage. One of my very first
posts here was about the Tower as a combination of a) the Tower of Babel and
b) Dante's Purgatory.
