The only thing missing from this male fantasy - a sex scene with both sisters at once.


Watership Down
The Magus
Stranger in a Strange Land
A Confederacy of Dunces.
And so far, I think I've been right - I did go back to SSL and it was the wrong thing to do. It destroyed a book I'd remembered with such pleasure. Time and people move on, but books don't.
PS - I loved A Prayer for Owen Meany, Sherri and I only read that one last year!


I enjoyed it; it reminded me a lot of trippy 60s television (The Prisoner). While I didn't come away from it with any deep insights, I would recommend it, if only to round out reading Fowles' work.
I would love to have seen this plot in the hands of Donna Tartt or even Jonathan Lethem...
