Ric & TN:
Very familiar with Patrick McManus. Senior year in HS, had to do a "reading" for English Lit, and, as usual, left the decision til the last minute (almost literally the last second). Sitting in library reading Outdoor Life or something laughing my arse off reading about Rancid Crabtree and one of his adventures. Figured, what the heck....decided to use it for my "classic" reading.
Ol Mrs. Martin, snorting coffee out of her nose all over her desk! She reminded me afterwards that this was supposed to be one of the "classics", but still gave me an "A".
