Has anyone else out there read "Deep Ecology: Living as if Nature Mattered" by Devall and Sessions? Also, I might have missed this, but what do you folks think of "Lake Wobegon Days"? I'm not a real big fan, but I recently bought a copy from Garrison Keillor to give to a friend of mine -- I was impressed with Keillor in person, especially considering the crush of people he had to deal with. I read the excerpt in the Atlantic and enjoyed it, mostly -- I had this nagging feeling that the REALLY GOOD PARTS were just a flip of a page away... thanks for any comment, -- brent auernheimer (temporarily at Wang Institute...) -- Brent Auernheimer auernhei@wanginst (Csnet) Wang Institute of Graduate Studies wanginst!auernhei (UUCP) Tyng Road, Tyngsboro, MA 01879 (617) 649-9731

I enjoy Keillor's monologues on A Prarie Home Companion, but the excerpts in the Atlantic seemed boring to me. I think the sound of his voice and his delivery have a lot to do with my enjoyment of "The News From Lake Wobegon". It would be interesting to read a transcription of some of my favorite monologues (e.g. "Storm Home") to test my theory. -- Jeff Lichtman at rtech (Relational Technology, Inc.)
