I had to go for LotS. I've only read KotC once and it didn't race to the top of any favourites list. So for the sheer escapism I went for Michael Kane.You see, it's... it's no good, Montag. We've all got to be alike. The only way to be happy is for everyone to be made equal.

If I vote for LoTS it's really only because I didn't progress very far with reading KotC, which isn't a slur on King just I wasn't in the frame of mind to read it at the time._"For an eternity Allard was alone in an icy limbo where all the colours were bright and sharp and comfortless.
_For another eternity Allard swam through seas without end, all green and cool and deep, where distorted creatures drifted, sometimes attacking him.
_And then, at last, he had reached the real world – the world he had created, where he was God and could create or destroy whatever he wished.
_He was supremely powerful. He told planets to destroy themselves, and they did. He created suns. Beautiful women flocked to be his. Of all men, he was the mightiest. Of all gods, he was the greatest."

Ha ha ha ha. King of the City. LOS is great escapist fare, but really there's no contest here.'You know, I can't keep up with you. If I hadn't met you in person, I quite honestly would NOT believe you really existed. I just COULDN'T. You do so MUCH... if half of what goes into your zines is to be believed, you've read more at the age of 17 than I have at the age of 32 - LOTS more'
Archie Mercer to Mike (Burroughsania letters page, 1957)
