The Journey to Ixtlan is a great book. But that's another Frey-case. Allegedly, Castenada didn't meet Don Juan, and derived his book from a lot of other books. That doesn't bother me. It's imagination. Unless someone really claims to have written a true story, the truthful ambiguity doesn't matter.
I've heard those allegations as well but I don't know if they were ever validated. In his case, if you've grasped the meaning of Castenada's books, it really doesn't matter if it's literally true or not. There is another author who also claims to have met Juan Matus, Ken Eagle Feather. Good author and sort of brings Don Juan's teachings in to a less "cryptic" light. There are also a couple of other books that were said to be written by a couple of the female sorcery apprentices...Tasha Abelar is one. Sort of a rehash of Carlos and not nearly as engaging but interesting none the less.

McCaffrey (MacCaffrey?) wrote a series called the Dragonriders of Pern. I'm not a big fan of fantasy however the first 3 or 4 were pretty good.

I used to belong to the Science Fiction Book Club. Have several boxes of hard cover books in my garage. (no space in the house for them...yet)

I'm sort of a binge reader. I'll read 3 or 4 or 6 books in a month, sometimes two or three at once, and then not pick up a book for a couple months.
