The Mikes dig deep for a discussion of a book that both really like. The problem: how do you discuss a book without griping about it? We try and mostly fail.

For those who wish to listen to Jesse Livingston's novel A Thousand Lifetimes in an Hour, here's a link for the audiobook download:

Enjoy!
Again you unearth a forgotten, worthwhile book, and you guys shine.
May I suggest reading the excerpt a little further into the discussion so as to prompt you to comment on the prose? You just dropped it, since you had comments you wanted to get to first.
Funny hearing the earlier casting for the movie. Knocked around for a while, didn't it?
I remember Interview with the Vampire was going to be John Travolta's next big movie after Urban Cowboy. Sixteen years later, it was Brad Pitt...
I kind of like the intellectual and visionary weirdness of Livingston's book. But he rushes the reading, capturing none of the appropriate tone for the words he's speaking. I'd prefer to read it, when it becomes available in that form (my search failed to find a text version).
Slow down next time, Mr. L.
