Hello.  My name is Sean McCain.  I've been lurking for a while now, since
a bit before GRGR started.  This group keeps me sane.

I have found that reading a work while in the same general state of
mind...that is, while using the same substances, as the author was in while
writing the book can be quite helpful in understanding just what the hell
is going on. 

Try _Ulysses_ while drinking very good Irish whiskey.
