Still haven't gotten around to "Dhalgren" and I don't want to start into
anything that I don't have a good chance of finishing in 3 or 4 days at
this point, so I'm not going to attempt it anytime soon. (Maybe not
even next year.) But I did manage to get through "Shardik" in college.
Not as good as "The Plague Dogs", and *that* wasn't as good as
"Watership Down".
