Little Big Man by Thomas BergerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I read this novel cover to cover over three days in Mexico lying in bed with a fever. Read a little. Nap a little. Read a little. Nap a little. I highly recommend this approach to it. Jack Crabb relates his adventures in the Old West as he alternately lived with and fought against the plains Indians. His fictional voice comes so alive that you start talking back to him.
I am hard pressed to think of any better American picaresque novel.
In the name of everything sacred, I beg you. Please do not suggest On the Road in response.

You must be feeling better. I'm glad.
Me too. I like being alone when I'm sick, but I always want to know that someone is around if I need them. Those tennis guys probably wouldn't have been much help.
I love this novel.
