Jimmy's Hemingway-like existence bumming around Mexico doing odd jobs is interrupted when he is whisked away on a journey to some Mayan ruins that are of interest to both a group of archaeologists looking for finds, and a group of hippies who believe aliens will be returning there shortly, led by a being known as 'El Mago'. A really fun adventure with lots of dry humor mixed in #prayingtoaliens #nuyear @TrishB @Cinfhen

Cinfhen I'm tempted to stack it too @reggie😉 6y
Billypar @Cinfhen @Reggie It is the same author as True Grit, but it's the only one I've read so far. He only wrote five novels over his career- I think True Grit was the runaway hit of the bunch, but then the rest got a second look in more recent history and got some praise in their own right. I'd definitely recommend this one- I'll be reading more of his. 6y
