I would like to see some discussion on NON-SF books here, I'd really like to find some other type of books that I enjoy as well, SF is going the way of all popular genres. I enjoyed Trevanian's "Shibumi" quite a bit. It is a "spy" novel of a sort, involving the usual international conspiracies, etc. It seems, though, to have a little more class than the average. It has a view of the US government that Mr. Turner may well enjoy. (No, I'm NOT being insulting, I'm using the easiest way I know to describe the protagonists viewpoint.) I was quite surprised at this novel, so I looked for several more of the same genre, and was sadly disappointed. I guess I'll stick to Yeats and SF. (What a combination!)
