Preston Singletary, You know a book is a timeless classic, when all you have to do is use 1 word of the title, and everybody knows what book you are talking about.In retrospect, I might have done what Native Son did, and opt for a good anthology. You should be a good person to ask this question, have any idea who Sparse Grey Hackle really is?? I was told he is someone famous. Had any good reads lately???
