The Ultimate in American Fiction

Sometimes a Great Notion- by Ken Kesey

A little difficult to get into his writing style in the beginning but so worth it in the end. Action adventure, romance betrayal, and a plain good story. All the symbolism that an intellectual could want, and all the muleheaded, butt kickin, and personal depth that a normal person could desire.

Other Very good Fictional stories...
A river runs through it- Norman MacLean
Ring World- Larry Niven
Education of Little Tree- ??
Dune- Frank Herbert
others to come later

I'm sure people are like, 'who the hell is daryl?' Vulash remembers him! He was in Triadica with us but he's the buddy we went to go visit in Idaho =D

Hi Eric!

He was telling me about this book and going thru his bookcase and forcing books on me. FORCING I SAY! You realize Ringworld's cover is like ripping off, right Eric? Dont blame me for the tape job when I send it back.

I'll post the pics from Idaho. Just wait, I have a cute one of him and their bebe dressed up like lumberjacks. Its adorable, they look like twins...only not really. >< Eric's hot too, I should mention but alas, he was long ago classified in the 'brother' section.

Hello Vulash an Ryala. Mae, I dont know if i was ever classified as hot. I'll settle for the boy bein hot at this point. but me, I am just trying to not need a bra in the future. If anyone takes a stab at those books lemme know what you think. or if you have already i am always interested in others takes on that junk. As for Idaho and Blasphemy...any time you are within, around, or even flying over Idaho you magically become a smarter and a better lookin person. Of course you start to chew tabacco and trash falls out your car door everytime it opens. But hey you take your good with the bad.

Greetings

I've read all of the Dune series and it was excellent. It is a shame he passed away before writing more. I have not read the back story books done by his son but I heard they were disappointing. If anyone has read the House books I'd love to hear what they thought of them.
