Oh, yeah! I'd completely forgotten Canticle. Great book. The last and best thing he ever wrote. Typing of Coover, did you ever read his "The Universal Baseball Association, J. Henry Waugh, Proprietor"? I seem to recall you aren't a baseball fan, but this book is amazing and... well... different.

I also assume you've read Riddley Walker by Russell Hoban, but just in case you haven't, please do. A truly remarkable work.
