If not, it's suggested reading. I think he makes a GREAT case for worlds-within-worlds, or the Onion theory. And more to the point, if you like fantasy / contemporary, few authors can match him for realistic feeling.

Just a friday night suggestion.

Cheers!

I liked 'Someplace to be Flying" but I haven't read anything else.

Since we're on Canadian authors, have you read Robertson Davies?

And now I should go back to sleep, sheesh.

Re: Anyone here ever read Charles De Lint?
how about Teilhard de Chardin


a Jesuit prophet rejected by his kind but a true Spirit like my dead Father-in-Law, the most humble and intelligent Man I have ever read second only to walt Whitman.

Whitman, a true God among Men...if ever there was a God it was him...his life and Truth expressed in his words.

What a Noble Soul.

Chuck if you hear me now...I love you and didnt realize how much you taught me with your humility and total selflessness.
