     These are only novels, listed in order of personal "impact" (for lack of a better word), as per my understanding of the instructions for the list.  If other writing were to be included, I would have to drop out some of the titles listed above to include J.C. Allegro's _The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross_, and Thomas Kuhn's _The Structure of Scientific Revolutions_.
                              truly,
