A Canticle for Leibowitz
What a great book. I read it for English, and at first I thought it was ok, an interesting idea, but poorly done. Then my teacher took us into the symbolism of the book and I came to really love it. And the irony in the end if you catch onto the big secret is hilarious.

I remember enjoying it when I read it, but it's been a long time. I remember a robot mule, the brother, a woman with 2 heads, and that's about all. Since I tend to be literal minded, would you mind giving me a clue or two about the symbolism? And how did you know the 2nd Coming had happened?
Thanks. |

Well the following is all a spoiler, so get your highlighting mouses ready. Btw, I think you're think of the blue goat, not a robotic mule.
