: 1. I strongly recommend "The Elective
: Affinities". I have read it already, but if it
: makes it, I would give it another try.
:
: 2. There is no point in insisting on "The Eagle
: and the Serpent" if the English translation is
: out of print. I'll read it and tell you if it's good.
:

: The Tunnel - When I was in high school, we had read
: a science fiction story titled The Tunnel. It had made
: a huge impression on me, I still remember all of the
: details of the story and the excitement of the ending.
: I am voting for this book only because of the name.
:
: Who was the author of that science fiction story? I
: may have read it too.
:
: You'll be delighted, then, to know that William H.
: Gass has written a novel titled The Tunnel , and
: you can join me in reading it after we finish
: Omensetter's Luck next month.
