A book I read as a young adult that has secretly remained with me in the back of my memory ever since picking it up. Took me FOREVER!!! To find again, been dreaming of owning this book for 20 some years. affected me subconciously in a profound way, safe to say one of the most cherished books i enjoyed as a youth. loved the characters and how each approached life and thier shared struggle with different philosophies. truly in my opinion a diamond lost in the rough of time!!
