Yeah--forgot about this one until just now. I saw the book and immediately knew it by its cover. I told my wife it was a Carlos Castaneda book I had read back in 1978 while a freshman in college (don't all engineering majors read that stuff?). Several of us read the first three books he had written and ordered up some shrooms and peyote from ads in High Times. I never achieved the higher level of consciousness. Sigh...I may not be "Others" material...nor did I end up an engineer.
