I needed a break from David Foster Wallace and his Trained Footnote Circus, so I spun the "authors with three names" wheel and read "Splinter of the Mind's Eye" by Alan Dean Foster. Published in 1978, this was to be the sequel to Star Wars if that movie hadn't been a hit. It has lots of sexual tension between Luke and Leia (this was before the other movies were written.) And you know what it DOESN'T have? Footnotes!
