Fwd: Re: his Master's voice

[the Robot Vegetable]

I will for the first time.   I also suggest Frank Norris,
 
_The Pit_  commodities trading in Chicago - an attempt to
           corner the wheat market
_The Octopus_   wheat farming in California, the crushing
                presence of monopoly power.  This is a great
		novel, stunning.  A bit rough, and with a
		couple strange supernartural scenes.
