One of may favourite books that ive come back to a couple times.

It's pretty bleak but it did get a few chuckles out of me.

"Forgive me father, I ate a lizard" and Francis' repeated fainting and the librarian having a fit when the monk that is into science suggests moving a cross to hang their lightbulb for thon Thaddio come to mind.

As grim as the ending is I never got the impression that spaceship didn't make it. There was a scene where the bearded guy gets on the ship and they see the blasts from space, no?
