The Bride Comes To Yellow Sky - Stephen Crane
The Yellow Cloud by Kenneth Robeson (A Doc Savage Mystery)

Hey, Mono: I had to do a review of The Bride Comes To Yellow Sky for a college class. In my opinion, Stephen Crane is so dull, you could read his stuff aloud in the garden and bore inscets off your vegtables. But I wrote up the paper and somehow not only got an A+, but the Prof. asked to keep the paper as an example of how to correctly write a book review. It was probably the hardest time I ever had writing anything. I had one of Crane's books Red Badge of Courage and quick as I was through with it, I traded it for a Tarzan novel. :cool:
