    Dhalgren by Samuel R. Delany... Anybody read this? It's been ages but I still remember fragments of this book strongly. Some found it a hard read because of it's Schitzoid narration. I think I made it through this book twice... (shows where my head was at back in the late 70's/early 80's.) Should find a copy and start reading again. :2thumbsup:

    Thought you might like to have a copy. I was amazed at how well it fit into that box. Enjoy.

    I bought one for me too but don't know when I will start it. I have a few others lined up ahead of that one.

    Damn--sounds like a complicated novel. It's not a book I'd read, sez me.
