If anyone has a copy of the edition of Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age that actually contains an ending, i would greatly appreciate it if you lent it to me. The one i read seemed to be missing it.

For a long time, I've thought that Terry Pratchett was one of the best authors of endings currently active. I figure he could make a fair amount of money ghost-writing endings for writers who are less skilled at that art, like, say, Neal Stephenson (who just stops writing) or Haruki Murakami (whose endings are slightly more abrupt than the ending of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, only without the motorbike courier turning up to pick up the manuscript).

Also, for Neal Stephenson's next birthday, I'd like to get him a DELETE key. Oh wait, he hand-wrote his last novel: in that case, he should have a fireplace too.
