Sometimes a Great Notion

I've been a little slow with keeping up with season 4 of BSG, just netflixing the 4.0 dvds right now. I see that the first episode of 4.5 is called 'Sometimes a Great Notion.' 

That's only one of the best books ever written. Ken Kesey. About logging in the coast range of Oregon. And rain. And dealing with the long grey winter in Oregon. And stubbornness. And family. The narrative structure of the book makes it very difficult to read, often 3 characters are speaking in the first person on the same page. But it's well worth the trouble. 

My parents' place is about 20 miles south of where they filmed the Paul Newman adaptation of 'Sometimes...' Man, I still can't believe he's gone.
