you know, as such a varied reader and eclectic persona, i really encourage you to read Christopher Pike's little adolescent novels, for example Sati and the Starlight Crystal. they mantain several themes which i continue to hold on to which i have seen you describe. they are quick reads and good for short trips or lunch breaks. if you need encouragement, i could easily send them to you, be it a personal address or one of those rented out P.O. Boxes. but yes, Christopher Pike, indeed. he got me interested in Kali and Krishna. in fact, i believe i still owe you a story.

kyle.
