Wanna read a trippy book ? try "Interstellar Pig"

Waldo gets around. He's here, then he's there.... I under estimated his sneakiness..

The Odyssey by Homer. Very good read IMO

Racing Beat

Yes that is the correct author...

Another Really good one is "Insect dreams" the continuation of Kafka's Metamorphosis..talk about trippy to read..

Talon_66

I would like to read The Illiad (spelling). I have also heard/read some stuff about Homer saying he was blind... pretty damn good 'poems' for a blind guy.

Yeah, the Ray Charles of Iambic Pentameter. Actually, the consensus is that there was never a real Homer. The Iliad and the Odyssey are really an oral
tradition, stories which began before there was a written language in Ancient Greece.
No one at this point is really sure how a Homer came to be associated with these poems. Great stories, though, no matter what the origin.

Haha, that's why I've been dubbed Factotus Maximus.
