Thanks Wally.

I have just got to the end of a novel I am reading and i read this last 
night:

'i don't think anyone is evil beyond saving. maybe i'm like my dad that 
way: naive. But better naive, I think , than calloused to the core.'

The book is called Boy's Life by Robert McCammon. It is an unusual book. 
Normally when i read a novel, it is the storyitself that grabs me and I 
take little notice of the way it is written as I find  that often 
detracts formt he story, getting wrapped up in the 'letrary merit' of 
it. Anyway, I happen to really like the way this man writes and it adds 
to the wholeexperience. It is set in Alabama, early sixties and 
chronicles the experiences of good and evil of young boy. I really 
enjoyed it.
