To be on the royal path and headed for even more complicated realities where the challenge is always against his own internal mountain that for the gentlman didn't move nor give in so easily.

i read most of his books and enjoyed them. then i learned in sociology that he made it all up. i haven't found supporting evidence either way, but i tend to believe my soc professor. the books were entertaining, if you read them for nothing beyond that you should be fine.
