If you thought it was going to be anything *but* a political treatise before reading it, you already had not done your homework.

A political treatise with an overlong speech. It was about as subtle as a sledgehammer. One dimensional characters that are found NOWHERE in real life.

I think you’re the first person I’ve encountered who’s read this. I’ve got to order this—Dan Simmons thinks very highly of it.

I could make a list of fifty GREAT books, but will limit myself to those that pop up over the next couple of minutes. In no order except as they come to me:
Little, Big - John Crowley
The Last Good Kiss - James Crumley
V. - Thomas Pynchon
Modern Times - Paul Johnson
Strange Wine - Harlan Ellison (short stories)
Candide - Voltaire
Basketball Diaries - Jim Carroll
The Mad Scientists Club - Bertrand Brinley
The Songs of Distant Earth - Arthur C. Clarke
Texasville - Larry McMurtry
