The Glass Bead Game was highly unusual - I almost had to force myself to read the beginning, but then all at once I found myself so entranced I...
True. I hadn't thought about that. :rolleyes:
Which albums by Pharoah Sanders would you recommend? I've found myself deeply and irrevocably in love with 'The Creator Has a Masterplan' (Karma).
