	Review: The Book of Skulls (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The Book of Skulls was originally published in 1972 (when I was 4 years old!) and is heavily ensnared in the culture of the time.
		Eli has found reference to a book called the Book of Skulls, where in is detailed the method for immortality: a group of four must journey to the House of Skulls.
		And the monks at the House of Skulls are all male.

		His monumental 753-page book, Defrauding America, in its third expanded and revised edition is clearly a labor of love.
		One of the most explosive chapters in the book is in fact titled, "CIA and DEA Drug Trafficking." This includes first-hand accounts of CIA and DEA agents who were part of these operations.
		One of the most revealing incidents in the book is a conversation recorded by one of Stich's informants, Gene "Chip" Tatum, a helicopter pilot for the US Army and the CIA.

		The Ninth Mystery in the Book of Skulls states: 'Two of thee we undertake to admit to our fold.
		But at the end of the book everything happens real fast and you get the feeling that it could be a lot better.
		Subsequently, and for the most part, the book is absolutely captivating, and having read the first two thirds of the story this would probably mark the end of my review.

	The processed book (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The "processed book" is about content, not technology, and contrasts with the "primal book"; the latter is the book we all know and revere: written by a single author and viewed as the embodiment of the thought of a single individual.
		Books have a certain integrity born of the fact that they are the authentic manifestations of the serious men and women who create them.
		A processed book is processed in two senses: The original utterance undergoes a series of transformations before the end-point is reached, and it is micro-processed, that is, it uses the astounding capabilities of computers to augment the original text.

	SF REVIEWS.NET: The Book of Skulls / Robert Silverberg
		Robert Silverberg's chilling and cynical The Book of Skulls is one of his most accomplished, if difficult to like, novels.
		Vietnam, the sexual revoultion, the cover of Time emblazoned with the question "Is God Dead?" In his four protagonists, Silverberg encapsulates an entire America caught in the throes of social and spiritual crisis, floundering, lost, and, worst of all, looking for the answer in all of the wrong places.
		Though I can't say for certain Silverberg intended this, one theme I derived from The Book of Skulls was that of the dangers of abandoning reason for blind faith in anything at all that makes promises too good to be true and hooks you in by exploiting the most vulnerable areas of your psyche.

	Signs of the Times - Trophy Skulls
		Growing up in Texas, my idea of a trophy skull was the bones of a cow or a sheep or a rattlesnake which would turn up from a hike in the hill country.
		And that forensic scientists must sometimes determine whether a human skull is, in fact, a trophy skull when called upon to assist with a murder investigation.
		If you have knowledge of or experience with trophy skulls or have interesting stories deriving from your participation in the 2002 Virginia Festival of the Book, please send them to george@loper.org where the most representative comments will be placed on my web site with full attribution.

		There was also a sequel or a prequel to that book, which showed the boy flying in the air, and bellow them you could see the princess girl and a guy in armor next to her, and both of them were looking up at him.
		The cover is as described, and it is one book in a series, but the plot is a little different: the girl is a sorceress and the green boy is a former slave she has rescued.
		The first book begins with the main character (possibly named Wendy) arriving at her aunt and uncle's ranch for the summer; she's just recovered from a riding accident where she took a horse out onto the road and the horse got killed and she broke her leg.

	The SF Site Featured Review: The Book Of Skulls
		This question is addressed by Robert Silverberg in his classic novel, The Book Of Skulls, reprinted in the SF Masterworks series by Millennium.
		At the heart of it, The Book Of Skulls is a study of psychology, perhaps even sociology.
		The Book Of Skulls is a masterful presentation of the differences that keep mankind always in flux, but also of the likenesses that allow us to achieve our goals.

	Amazon.com: The Book of Skulls: Books: Robert Silverberg (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		However, the publishing company probably promoted it as a SF book (Silverberg alludes to as much in the introduction) and thus the people out there looking for something sophisticated and different automatically were steered away from it because of the big "SF!" label.
		So the book bounces from character to character, and for the most part the monologues are absolutely mindboggling, Oliver's internal rant on the unfairness of death is some of the most fiery prose I've ever seen put to paper and there are great moments scattered all throughout.
		Fortunately most of those books are starting to trickle back into print (I've seen Dying Inside, A Time of Changes, and Tower of Glass myself), so perhaps it's only a matter of time before someone wises up and gets this book into the hands of the people who deserve to read it.

		The golden skull mask on the left sidebar comes from a site at Oaxaca, Mexico, and the interesting part is that I once had a nightmare where I saw a mask exactly like this one, glowing darkly in a dim basement repository of ancient art.
		His 1972 classic, The Book of Skulls is precisely this kind of novel, though it's more a first-person tale of rigorous self-examination in a supernatural context, than a science fiction book per se.
		What the Book of Skulls succeeds so well at is examining the baroque intersections of social class, ethnicity, belief systems, physical appearance, and how our preconceptions of our fellow man can be ultimately deceiving.

	Robert Silverberg: The Book of Skulls - an infinity plus review
		The Book of Skulls is told in a series of first-person narratives, switching between the four protagonists.
		The Book of Skulls could be quite accurately described as a heavily-padded novella, but few can pad as interestingly, as eloquently, as Silverberg.
		Silverberg illustrates this point perfectly: he appears on this list with a solidly good work like The Book of Skulls, rather than his true classics, such as Dying Inside or Nightwings, simply because the latter two books are published in the UK by HarperCollins and not Orion.

		The book is told in revolving first-person chapters, presenting the story from four points of view.
		The journey brings them all face-to-face with their deepest fears and secrets, and what it does to them, and their relationships with each other, is the main focus of the story.
		I can't recommend The Book of Skulls strongly enough, though I suppose it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

		'The Book of Skulls' is set in the 1990s and there are four main characters in the book.
		The story is about these four boys going to find the book of skulls in Arizona.
		I found it very easy to read because the book is set out in chapters and each chapter is narrated by one of the four boys; and so it's told in a twenty-year-old boy's way of speaking, which is easy to relate to.

		The Book of Skulls by Robert Silverberg starts off with four college students who have found an ancient manuscript, the book of skulls, that describes of an ancient cult that can teach one how to become immortal.
		Silverberg uses a style of writing in which the entire book is in a first person narrative (along with dialogue) but the narrative switches off each chapter with which one of the four kids is telling the story.

	The Book of Skulls Summary Study Guide
		In technical terms, The Book of Skulls is one of Silverberg's superior works, especially for the major period of 1968-1974.
		Silverberg relies on four first person narrators to characterize his four student protagonists who have fled from the campus to seek enlightenment.
		Since the four main characters come from different ethnic backgrounds and have different interests, developing and sustaining their narrative voices was a considerable achievement.
