ha. ya think?
if you're curious, pick him up and read him. he's got a lot
of fans. that's why I gave him a shot. at least I feel I own
my opinion of him now. heck, I would think Ask the Dust has
gotta be in your local library
I've heard lots of good about Crews as well, and someone I
know gave me Feast of Snakes, which I've been unable to
finish. I've since read on this list however, that FOS is far
from Mr. Crews' best work. since I respect the knowledge and
taste of most of the people here, I'll try something else of
his at some point
