SIASL is a good treatise on the impact of certain relationship styles in the "real world"<BR>
that existed in the latter half of the 20th century. Big Love without the Mormonism.<BR>
Jubal is the sort of character you would want to be. He is fun and a little grungy. <BR>
Relaxed and resourceful. Much more understandable than the Michael character.<BR>
<BR>
Try "Illuminati!" by Wilson and Shea, and also the nexy trilogy Wilson did...<BR>

I haven't read Stranger -- more of an Arthur Clarke / Kurt Vonnegut /
Kilgore Trout / Stannislaw Lem scifi fan -- so the name alone made
me curious about the character. This is the front of his wikipedia
entry:
" Jubal Harshaw is a fictional character featured in Stranger in a
Strange Land,
a novel by Robert A. Heinlein. He is described as: "Jubal E. Harshaw,
LL.B., M.D.,
Sc.D., bon vivant, gourmet, sybarite, popular author extraordinary,
neo-pessimist
philosopher, devout agnostic, professional clown, amateur subversive,
and parasite
by choice. "
I definitely can see the appeal in being this person. Sans the
degrees (which I can fake if needed...) I'm about 75% Jubal without
even knowing it and I figure Jim at about 85% without trying, too.
:-)
peace
