Thanks for posting the link Karey. I don't even think it's his best book. Here's a discussion topic that might wake our list up: Which book is WP's best? What makes you think so? For pure pleasure I like THE SECOND COMING best (l like the love story: I'm a girl that way!). But as for his best, I cast my vote with LANCELOT. It marks a crucial turning point in his writing, has as strong a philosophical underpinning as MOVIEGOER, and as far as pure literary merit, it's crafted better than the others--even MOVIEGOER. I'd place MOVIEGOER second. What do the rest of y'all think? --Rhonda "You live in a deranged age, more deranged than usual, because in spite of great scientific and technological advances, man has not the faintest idea of who he is or what he is doing."
