>I'm pretty sure I mentioned this once before and I think I recall your having said you read it, but for everyone else, please run out and get Robert Coover's "The Origin of the Brunists". It's brilliant and I think it's back in print.
Read it many years ago and still have a copy around hear somewhere. Yes, highly recommended. ( right up there with "Canticle for Leibowitz")

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
