It had been like that for a while at least. I kinda liked it, time on HL not being the same as time everywhere else...

I had to translate it back to engrish. I read it in german, some 20 years ago.

The HL clock has never been right anyway....the hours are also wrong taking me back to my immediate past....but I'm used to it already.

Hear, hear!
I read the books two or three times, and it *never* got boring. All the cross-references in the books are simply outstanding.
