"...young men wage war against an evil empire of zealous mutants.." (?) That sounds very interesting to me. Geez, there are just too many books to read all of a sudden! I've got two I haven't finished yet-that have been laying around for nearly a month. I noticed when I checked on the Burrough's novel, that a lot of folks bought Ken Kesey's stuff as well (that liked Burrough's stuff). I just read "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" which was excellent. I saw the movie "Sometimes a Great Notion", but I would love to read that book. Kesey is one of the best writers I have ever read.
