Oh, yeah, Guest - "Chariots of the Gods" does appear up above, sorry about that. But the author wasn't identified and he deserved to be.

Interesting thread this... some of the books that appear here I've read and enjoyed greatly and was a bit surprised to find the depth of feeling they aroused. "Confederacy of Dunces", for example. I think it's brilliant. Full of black humour, symbolism, irony and despair. Maybe that's what people miss. It isn't literal, really...
