John Berger and Mark Helprin are always at the top of my list: reflective, optimistic, realistic, but funny, not as "heavy" as it sounds. Enthralling, transporting, envigorating, inspiratinal. Social realism meets Bebop....
Definitions:Ideal location: at the edge of the woods by a mountain lakeside.
Real location: programming computers, still not joining the rat-race. Any directions to the next exit would be much appreciated.
Good: open minds and compassion.
Bad: cruelty.
Religion: fixed in stone.
Subtitle: "Oh ... I'm a beatnik...?"
Shelfari: a good place to find new books, and to travel back through time cataloging the old ones. Please stop trying to sell me books with 'friendship requets' or groups requests', though.
