Journal Entry 1 by Forager from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire United Kingdom on Friday, July 10, 2009
I have read a couple of books by this author this year already. I enjoy not only his style but also the fact that, writing in the 1950s and 1960s, he demonstrates attitudes and a philosophy far ahead of his time.
