@MichaelWhelan The book that got me into the joy that is #piersanthony and the #xanth series.

I just discovered this morning that Florida had a drive-in movie theatre called Isle of View - https://cinematreasures.org/theaters/20290/ - and now I'm wondering if Piers Anthony used that name for the 13th Xanth book as a reference.
A LOT of the stuff that happens in Xanth references real-world Florida locations and events, like a giant chasm in Xanth paralleling an ultimately unfinished canal that was going to cut across Florida to allow barge travel to/from the Gulf of Mexico without going all the way around the Florida peninsula - https://floridahistoryblog.com/cross-florida-barge-canal-a-shortcut-that-never-was/
So, given that, I have to wonder if the drive-in planted the seed, for, if nothing else, the name of the book?

Resale shop find. $2. Never ready any of the Xanth books. I think I read Split Infinity and Blue Adept but didn't get too much farther.
