Percy-L: Literary, Religious, Scientific, and Philosophical Discussion of Walker Percy

[David Alan Beck <dabeck AT iupui.edu>]

Every now and then I turn to an MTV station (that I somehow get, even
though I don't have cable). Sometimes I do it just to confirm the
direction we are heading (another chapter in the Decline of Western
Civilization). Other times, I do it just to be up on what my students are
talking about (to prove that I know artists more current than Dylan,
CSN&Y, etc.). I saw a video of his, where he was walking around in a space
suit, looking around at normal life as if he were a stranger to the place.
Unfortunately, I couldn't hear what he was singing, because I was on the
phone. Anyway, I'm curious about the other four favorite novels. Were they
listed?

future for man if he spent less time proving that
he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness
and respecting her seniority."
