Books I'll Never Forget

"Two Hawks from Earth" by the Philip "the outlaw" Jose Farmer
I read this book during a particularly difficult time in my life. Let's just say, I was in high school, and there was this girl... Two Hawks (who was an American bomber pilot, shot down during the fire bombing of Dresden and transported to an alternate earth) was also betrayed by the girl he liked (with the evil Nazi fighter pilot also from our Earth). It led to my statement, "all of time and space is crashing down about my ears".

I'll never forget the line from the book, "And Two Hawks buried himself in his work."

As men, when things are going bad, it is very tempting and somewhat comforting to bury ourselves in work. But it's not a real solution...
