Speaking of lists...

[Michael Richard]

	Don't read _The Death of Artemio Cruz_ by Carlos Fuentes.
It's the only novel I have set down unfinished in decades.  It is
a retelling of Mexican History during some very bloody years, and
follows Senor Cruz while he jumps from side to side, as his 
erstwhile compadres are murdered.
