Thanks for the heads up on these tow books; they sound very interesting and deep.

I read Wolfe's 'A Man in Full' and it was fantastic as well as entertaining. He deserved every penny he made off that one, certainly. Through the art of telling an interesting story he presented four contrasting characterizations (stereotypes if you will) of manhood that are quite illustrative and enlightening. Suggestion though if you haven't yet read it, consider 'Zeus' to be code for 'Christ' and I think you will get the full message.

We Christians today do have to go back to using code to represent our bleifs, and Wolfe is the first in a long time I think to have done this to avoid persecution.

Maybe we can also use the Sun to represent the Son, and the Joshua Tree to represent the Cross, but Wolfe has set an example, I think. of how to reference Christianity subtley and not register on the leftist radar..

Saw that show on fox,, a whole hour, a fascinating guy.
Really thought his "Bon Fires of the Vanities" said it all for that period.

W. E. B. Griffin, my favorite, has a new one out, "By Order of the President"
It meets the "Entertainment" test.

I also recommend "Bonfire Of The Vanities" which is brilliant (the Tom Hanks movie doesn't even begin to do the book justice). It is a tale of an overprivileged yuppie who gets caught in the maws of the politically correct justice system and it has some really hilarious twists and turns.
