Todd, I can't possibly be looking at all these covers soon after a buffet dinner, so to speak. I know I have read something by John Barth, probably in my late teens or early twenties when I was a member of the American Library at USIS. Saul Bellow and Gore Vidal were the other authors I discovered around the same time. Of course, I have no recollection and never read any of their books again. My loss.
Well, Prashant, the work awaits you, when you're ready to find it again.
Having been a Lambert, Hendricks & Ross music fans for years, along with my share of having read the works of Harlan Ellison, Vin Packer, and John Barth, among many others, I invite others to read and savor future classics in these and other fields.
Agreed! Hence, a Whole Lot of this blog.
