I don't think Gene has read that, if memory serves.
Speaking of literature, I'm gonna go off on a tangent...
Today, while doing some research on rivers around here, I came across a 
reference to James Dickey's Deliverance.  Dickey used to paddle the 
Coosawattee, which was dammed to build Carter's Lake.  We are going to 
paddle the lower half of the Coosawattee in a few weeks-the part that is 
mostly flatwater.  If I recall, the movie was actually filmed in NE Ga 
on the Chattooga(class 4+), supposedly the fictious Cahulawassee, and 
before you start making fun of north Georgians, please remember that 
those Foxfire Books you know and love are a more accurate depiction of 
the people than the people in Deliverance. ANYWAY, I started thinking 
about what a shame it was that so many people forget Dickey's other 
theme...man against nature..and yet remember oh so well the man against 
man part..lol..I heard Dickey speak once, and he mentioned that.
Feeling just a bit random,,
