Remember Steve Allens "Meeting Of The Minds" books? These were written first and have historical figures debating among each other. If you can find a copy of Erskines book, it's a good read.Coffee Messiahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16908162048706236634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33534796.post-28449175742192051492009-10-06T09:16:58.509-07:002009-10-06T09:16:58.509-07:00Haven't read either, but the second one looks ...Haven't read either, but the second one looks interesting.Kurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03076973960956565537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33534796.post-6390292800806975842009-10-06T08:28:55.108-07:002009-10-06T08:28:55.108-07:00The first is Houseboat on the Styx but I've ne...The first is Houseboat on the Styx but I've never read it.<br /><br />The second: I have no idea (but that seriously limits admission, doesn't it?

He said I should read this book and would go to a pile, go right to the book and hand it to me. We became fast friends and have read many obscure titles because of him.<br />Anyway......Coffee Messiahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16908162048706236634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33534796.post-48890437626444399072009-10-05T16:48:20.078-07:002009-10-05T16:48:20.078-07:00Not...a...clew!
