What would the world be, once bereft of wet and wildness?
Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.

bookish query
Ok, a quick question: has anyone read a book called "The Magus"? I keep hearing this is an amazing book, but as you can see, there are multiple books with this same name. Is it that all books with this name are good (sort of like naming your next film "The Godfather"--a sure winner), or that there's some idea out there from which good books seem to result? Any tips would be appreciated (and recompensed--I'll send you some books I'm done with presently being used as doorstops and hotplates). Cheers.
