Then there was the ever present pilot fish, the press, always asking how it felt, what you thought. Crazy. How could you tell them? When asked, "Are you glad to be home?" how could you curb your tongue from blurting out as your brain wanted to: "Does Dolly Parton sleep on her back?" For four months, until the replacements came, you had been part of the multinational peace-keeping force in Lebanon, you and 4,000 other Marines and sailors.

After six weeks, she still refuses to consummate their union, although when someone has just undergone Hfuhruhurr's specialty, the cranial screw-top procedure, one tends to believe her when...
Lost in the Cosmos turns this brain-twisting topic into a sort of game show. Percy's questions span what he calls the deranged world from Descartes to "Dear Abby." The reader is provided multiple-choice answers. None are wrong, but some are more correct than others. Sample question: "If you are a shy person, is it better to accept your shyness, or to seek help from a psychotherapist?" Sample answers: "It is better to seek help from a psychotherapist because it is better not to suffer than to suffer ... It is better to read a book about...
