I was given a copy of this book by a Catholic priest at the school I coached soccer at about 1982 or 3. The story behind it is almost as intriguing as the book. Toad posted about it awhile back,read it here. If you don't know Toad take some time to read his archives. This man will make you laugh, smile,cry and sigh. but most importantly he will make you think.If you don't know the book, well it's not for everyone. I've heard and read many reviews and interpretations on it.I'll let you decide for yourself. but it's one of my favorites. Now for the big giveaway. I found this near mint copy in the "3 for a buck, 50cents for 1" box at a used book store. All comments will be given a number and a winner drawn randomly next Friday.. If you've never read it or want to read it again here's your big chance.
