Thanks for the vehement advice.  I don't like throwing books away
either.  They have to be REALLY bad for that kind of action.

As for The Recognitions, I personally wouldn't equate its worth with
GR.  But I couldn't make it past about 2/3's before the interactions
and dialogue of TR's own "whole sick crew" characters began to really
annoy me, and I stopped reading it.  I may try reading it again
sometime, because so many people testify to its greatness.
