An Introduction

[the Robot Vegetable]

	I like his work.  I've been reading a bunch of fantasy lately, 
and it got me wondering what my top 5 would be.  Pynchon makes the 
literature list twice with GR and M&D; Powers shows up on the fantasy 
list w/ Last Call and Declare.  
	For what it's worth, The Death of Virgil by Broch, The 
Recognitions by Gaddis, and Absalom! Absalom! by Faulkner round out
the first list; Ombria in Shadow McKillip, Five Hundred Years After by
Brust, and The Green Pearl by Vance the second.
