ooof! This thread grew while I was gone! How to respond to everybody??
COMF, Yes! A gramme IS better than a damn!
Six, you might like Robbins. I read "Jitterbug Perfume", "Another Roadside Attraction", "Skinny Legs and All", "Still Life With Wood Pecker", and "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" but it's been years ago. I have particularly fond memories of references to yoni.
Mega, when you get done with "The Holographic Universe" you'll have to tell us about it.
Wow Aztec! Nietzche??? You're not just another pretty face are you?
Mulan, Yep that's the one! Aldous Huxley. I related to the Savage a bit, but I felt more sorry for his mother. BTW you're right, "The Poisonwood Bible" is an excellent book! I would recommend it too.
Onacruse, you're reading all three of those at once? Which one would you recommend I read first?
Lyin, I like the classics too. You know what you should do is get the books and read them first. Then watch the movies. That's a good line-up for starters too. "Of Mice and Men" is great even though sad. Anything by Steinbeck is fantastic IMO.
I LOVE to read, but like Mega says, there's so many good books! I'll be a while catching up with everyone here. Unfortunately, I'm way behind all you guys when it comes to the "apostate" books. Haven't read my first one yet. Would really like to read Crisis of Conscience, but I'm just not sure how to go about it ......well, surreptitiously.
