books every intelligent person should read

[Curtis Rawling-Endicott]

Alice- Excellent call. And thanks.

And Michael- yes! on Illuminatus. It led me to so many other things,
including Pynchon. And Joyce. And Infinite Jest. And Crowley. And... etc
etc etc.

Catch-22 is such a rare gem in so many ways...

Adding all these to my ever-growing list.
