That’s the one. The Gilkey of the book has a 100 greatest books project of his own.

Is this really non-fiction, or is that just a media-hype? I happen to know a John Gilkey of San Francisco that fits this character description. He claims that he is in the midst of a ’100 greatest books project’, coincidence? I feel there may be a need for some detective work of our own.

Wow… that is one of the most unique stories I’ve heard of in a long time. And the fact that it’s true, well–I guess that’s what it means when people say that truth is stranger than fiction.

Thanks for the great review.

That’s a quirky story that deserves to be told. Looks like a good un.
