I think what I got out of this thread is that books aren't always what you expect them to be. Maybe that's true of life too. Maybe we should try not to have expectations about things, and just take them as they come, and accept them for what they are. I think the next time I read a book I'm just going to open it without any expectations. I'm just going to let it say what it has to say.

OP here: assumed the odds are indeed low for someone to have both read the book and played it -- someone who would remember, say, how letting Time Pass, flow accelerating, those main characters played with since the beginning all abruptly die from heart failure or old age or abroad; this given notice of through an icon and one line and one note, off-handedly; things being left then to pick up with them just gone
(also a chalice is the classical symbol for "vagina")
(and yes the iconic cover does look like one to boot)
